Corporate hog roast in Penton Grafton, carved to order
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Whether it’s staff thank-you lunches and client hospitality, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your staff.
At country workplaces around Penton Grafton, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Travel to Penton Grafton
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Share the allergen information with the team
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Penton Grafton, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
