Corporate hog roast in The Valley, slow-roasted on site
A summer party for staff in The Valley does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Popular choices include coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re often booked for end-of-project celebrations and site openings.
Rural businesses around The Valley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for staff who don’t eat pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
