How our corporate hog roast works in Upper Hale
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We roast on site in Upper Hale through the morning and serve at your lunch break. Whether it is site open days and summer staff parties, we can cook coleslaw, salads and hog roast rolls for your staff.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Lunchtime bookings in Upper Hale are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
