Corporate hog roast in Sheet, slow-roasted on site
In Sheet, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. Whether it’s family fun days and project wrap-ups, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads.
Rural businesses around Sheet can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Looking after everyone
Some staff will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
