How our corporate hog roast works in Street End
A summer party for staff in Street End doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater site open days and new premises openings.
Rural businesses around Street End can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, 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. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Street End hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

How we price a hog roast for your team
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. After-work summer events in Street End have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:45pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
