What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you work to our lunch time?

Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll confirm how booking and payment work.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Staplestreet hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a staff lunch in Staplestreet, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
