Corporate hog roast in Shirburn, slow-roasted on site
Lunch breaks are often fixed, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for retirement do’s and site open days.
At country workplaces around Shirburn, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. After-work summer events in Shirburn have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
