Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
About our corporate hog roast in Stuppington
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Stuppington, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. We serve salads, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater launch days and retirement do’s.
Near Stuppington, 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.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Stuppington?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
