Corporate hog roast for Shottenden
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Lunchtime bookings in Shottenden are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
