How our corporate hog roast works in Vigo Village

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. After-work summer events in Vigo Village have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your staff
