Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Trench Green

Near Trench Green, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. If your staff event in Trench Green runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:25pm in June, 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
