Corporate hog roast in Tankerton, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We roast on site in Tankerton through the morning and serve at your lunch break. We’re often asked to cater staff summer days and end-of-project celebrations, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
Around Tankerton, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A hog roast suits all of them. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Tankerton
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a staff lunch in Tankerton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
