Slow-roasted pork in Roke
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Roke
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Roke, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. Whether it’s away days and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of salads, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Near Roke, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?

- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
Common questions in Roke
How far is Roke from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Roke too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can it be more formal?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
