About our corporate hog roast in Southwater
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Tell us what your facilities team needs. Popular choices include crackling, salads and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for team-building days and long-service celebrations.
Around Southwater, teams work at farms, workshops and units. It works at any of them. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
