How our corporate hog roast works in Penton Corner
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. Typical bookings include project wrap-ups and family fun days, with salads, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
At country workplaces around Penton Corner, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Daytime open days in Penton Corner are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.

- Sign-off for outside caterers
