About our corporate hog roast in Stone Cross
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Stone Cross, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. For end-of-project celebrations and away days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, crackling and coleslaw for your staff.
Near Stone Cross, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
