Corporate hog roast in Waterham
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
About our corporate hog roast in Waterham
Staff days in Waterham work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who don’t eat pork. Whether it is site openings and project wrap-ups, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and coleslaw.
For farms and rural sites near Waterham, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Open days in Waterham typically finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm.

- We check with facilities and quote.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
