DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
About our corporate hog roast in Pitch Place
Lunch breaks are often fixed, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls keep service fast. For thank-you lunches and team days and away days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls and more.
For farms and rural sites near Pitch Place, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up

If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
