Corporate hog roast in Tickham, carved to order
A summer party for staff in Tickham does not have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. We serve spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and salads, and typical bookings are for team treats and team days and away days.
For farms and rural sites near Tickham, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your staff.
For event organisers in Tickham
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. If your staff event in Tickham runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:15pm in June to 3:50pm in December.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
