About our corporate hog roast in Rowledge
For a staff day in Rowledge, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. For site open days and retirements and long-service awards, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads and more.
Near Rowledge, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
For event organisers in Rowledge
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
