Corporate hog roast in West End, slow-roasted on site

Near West End, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in West End
Is West End too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Level hardstanding or lawn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the roaster
- Crackling
- Spit-roast lamb
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Daytime open days in West End are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
