Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Purbrook
From a small team to a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings and we will quote. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for thank-you lunches and team days and away days.
Workplaces in Purbrook range from offices to industrial units. A hog roast feeds the team on site without anyone leaving. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
What affects the price in Purbrook
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. After-work summer events in Purbrook have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
