Corporate hog roast in Snowdown
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How our corporate hog roast works in Snowdown
From a small team to a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings and we’ll quote. Whether it’s family fun days and retirements and long-service awards, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, crackling and salads and more.
For farms and rural sites near Snowdown, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Where the roaster can go in Snowdown

Common questions in Snowdown
Is Snowdown close to London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Snowdown?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Snowdown, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.

Preparing for the day

- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
