How our corporate hog roast works in The Chart
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Whether it’s new premises openings and team days and away days, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Rural businesses around The Chart can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
