Corporate hog roast in West Street
About our corporate hog roast in West Street
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. Typical bookings include summer team parties and milestone celebrations, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
For farms and rural sites near West Street, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal

The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. After-work summer events in West Street have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
