Corporate hog roast in Stroude, carved to order
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. One roast feeds a crowd, with our staff serving and clearing. Whether it is retirement do’s and team days and away days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Near Stroude, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A named contact for the day
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a staff lunch in Stroude, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
