DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
About our corporate hog roast in Tilehurst
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. We’re often asked to cater away days and long-service celebrations, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Work events near Tilehurst might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A hog roast suits all of them. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Daytime open days in Tilehurst are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
