Tonge Corner: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Tonge Corner?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Corporate hog roast in Tonge Corner, slow-roasted on site
From a small team to a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Tell us the numbers and the serving window for a quote. On the menu are coleslaw, salads and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for team-building days and team treats.
For farms and rural sites near Tonge Corner, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. 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.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Daytime open days in Tonge Corner are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
