About our corporate hog roast in South Street
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. Whether it is summer team parties and long-service celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Rural businesses around South Street 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.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
