Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a staff lunch in Shalcombe, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.

- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
