Corporate hog roast in Ripley
How our corporate hog roast works in Ripley
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for end-of-project celebrations and team treats.
Rural businesses around Ripley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds plenty of people quickly from one roast. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Open days in Ripley normally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Catered or do it yourself?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
