Corporate hog roast in Tidmarsh, slow-roasted on site
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Tell us what your facilities team needs. For client and customer events and site open days, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Near Tidmarsh, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.

Questions from Tidmarsh
Is Tidmarsh too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we’ll plan around them.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
For event organisers in Tidmarsh
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
