How our corporate hog roast works in Puckaster
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We are often asked to cater staff summer days and staff thank-you lunches, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
At country workplaces around Puckaster, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Puckaster
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Puckaster too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you cover Puckaster?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Puckaster and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
