Corporate hog roast in Southington, slow-roasted on site
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include retirements and long-service awards and site openings, with coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Rural businesses around Southington can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Why choose a hog roast in Southington?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- An itemised quote
