Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Stelling Minnis
For a staff day in Stelling Minnis, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else.

Near Stelling Minnis, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
