How our corporate hog roast works in West End
In West End, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a simple way to say thank you. For retirements and long-service awards and open days and family days, we can cook crackling, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
At country workplaces around West End, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Shelter for the team
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In West End, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
