Corporate hog roast in Romsey, slow-roasted on site
Whether it’s twenty people or a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings and we’ll quote. Typical bookings include site open days and thank-you lunches, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads.
Workplaces in Romsey range from offices to industrial units. We bring lunch to the team without anyone leaving. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What affects the price in Romsey
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Your menu choices

Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
