Corporate hog roast in Waltham
How our corporate hog roast works in Waltham
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We serve halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for long-service celebrations and client hospitality.
Rural businesses around Waltham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
