About our corporate hog roast in Smallbridge
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We roast on site in Smallbridge through the morning and serve at your lunch break. Typical bookings include retirement do’s and client and customer events, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
For farms and rural sites near Smallbridge, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Smallbridge, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
