Corporate hog roast in Trottiscliffe, slow-roasted on site

At country workplaces around Trottiscliffe, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Evening staff events in Trottiscliffe need light after sunset: sunset ranges from about 9:20pm in June to 3:50pm in December.
