Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Sheldwich Lees
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. On the menu are salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we are often booked for thank-you lunches and milestone celebrations.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Access through the site gates
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
