What we serve, dish by dish

Corporate hog roast in Tonge, slow-roasted on site
In Tonge, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. Whether it’s staff thank-you lunches and summer team parties, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, crackling and salads.
Near Tonge, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
China crockery is available for client events.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. If your staff event in Tonge runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:15pm in June to 3:50pm in December.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
