About our corporate hog roast in Puttenham
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Puttenham all suit a hog roast, as a simple way to say thank you. For team-building days and open days and family days, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your staff.
Near Puttenham, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What we need to know

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Planned to your running order
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Lunchtime bookings in Puttenham are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
