Corporate hog roast for Walliswood
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How our corporate hog roast works in Walliswood
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Walliswood, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for retirements and long-service awards and thank-you lunches.
For farms and rural sites near Walliswood, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan staff can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. For a staff lunch in Walliswood, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved to order by a chef

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A named contact for the day
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
