About our corporate hog roast in Rockbourne
Sites usually have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and launch days, serving spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling.
Near Rockbourne, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Looking after everyone
Some staff won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
