Work events near Poulner might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A hog roast suits all of them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Lunchtime bookings in Poulner are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
