Corporate hog roast in Shedfield, carved to order
Lunch breaks are often fixed, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches and project wrap-ups.
Rural businesses around Shedfield can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list

Questions from Shedfield
Do you come out to small places like Shedfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Shedfield close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need a car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, outdoors and under cover.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
