How our corporate hog roast works in St Leonards
Staff days in St Leonards work well with a hog roast: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. For team days and away days and project wrap-ups, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Teams near St Leonards frequently go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Let us know about the site. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Daytime open days in St Leonards are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

St Leonards questions
Could you cook in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
