About our corporate hog roast in Swallowfield
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. We serve spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater new premises openings and summer team parties.
Near Swallowfield, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
