How our corporate hog roast works in Swanwick
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Tell us what your facilities team needs. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for team-building days and long-service celebrations.
At country workplaces around Swanwick, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact on site
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Level hardstanding or lawn
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can you serve a fixed lunch break?

Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Tell us what your site asks for, and we will confirm what we can provide.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
