Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Upper Kingston
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. We are frequently asked to cater open days and family days and summer staff parties, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and coleslaw.
Near Upper Kingston, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
