How our corporate hog roast works in Westwell Leacon

At country workplaces around Westwell Leacon, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Step by step
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. For a staff lunch in Westwell Leacon, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
