Corporate hog roast in South Weirs, slow-roasted on site
Staff days in South Weirs work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who don’t eat pork. For client hospitality and site open days, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken for your staff.
Near South Weirs, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Give us a contact on site for the day.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A named contact for the day
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
