Corporate hog roast in Shipley, carved to order
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. We’re frequently asked to cater customer days and retirement do’s, serving salads, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Rural businesses around Shipley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. 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.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a staff lunch in Shipley, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.

- The team carves and serves on time.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
