Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Poyle
Sites usually have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Tell us what your facilities team needs. We’re frequently asked to cater team treats and launch days, serving coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
For farms and rural sites near Poyle, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Level hardstanding or lawn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Full catering or machine hire?
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 go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening staff events in Poyle need light after sunset: about 9:20pm in June, 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
