About our corporate hog roast in Stansted
A summer party for staff in Stansted doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater launch days and staff thank-you lunches.
Near Stansted, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Daytime open days in Stansted are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
