Corporate hog roast in St Mary Bourne, slow-roasted on site
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches and retirements and long-service awards.
Rural businesses around St Mary Bourne can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Share the allergen information with the team
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
A second meat gives the team a choice.

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Daytime open days in St Mary Bourne are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.

- We serve within your break.

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
