Corporate hog roast for Scragged Oak
Corporate hog roast in Scragged Oak, slow-roasted on site
A summer party for staff in Scragged Oak doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. For long-service celebrations and site open days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers and more.
For farms and rural sites near Scragged Oak, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Sign-off for outside caterers
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Scragged Oak, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
