Slow-roasted pork in Stoke Poges
How our corporate hog roast works in Stoke Poges
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater retirements and long-service awards and team-building days.
Teams near Stoke Poges frequently go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Let us know about the site. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
