Corporate hog roast for Stoke
Corporate hog roast in Stoke, slow-roasted on site
In Stoke, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. We are often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and retirement do’s, serving hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Near Stoke, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

- Roughly how many people

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
