About our corporate hog roast in South Town
Sites usually have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. Whether it’s milestone celebrations and site openings, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads for your staff.
At country workplaces around South Town, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
