For farms and rural sites near Ranmore Common, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. 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.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. After-work summer events in Ranmore Common have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Served at the time you choose
