Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Pollhill
Can you do a hog roast in Kiln Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Pollhill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Corporate hog roast in Pollhill, carved to order
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Pollhill all suit a hog roast, as a simple way to say thank you. Typical bookings include end-of-project celebrations and site openings, with hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Rural businesses around Pollhill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Shelter for the team
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Someone to meet us at reception
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Coleslaw
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a staff lunch in Pollhill, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
