How our corporate hog roast works in Wichling

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.

How we price a hog roast for your team
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating

- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
If you’re comparing hog roast caterers for Wichling, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Access through the site gates
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
