About our corporate hog roast in Swinbrook
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We roast on site in Swinbrook through the morning and carve at the time you set. Whether it’s customer days and retirements and long-service awards, we can cook hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw for your staff.
For farms and rural sites near Swinbrook, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Access through the site gates
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Common questions in Swinbrook
Is Swinbrook too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Swinbrook?
The closest is Shipton station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we’ll make it work.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What about family fun days?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with alternatives for everyone.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
