- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Wickham
Sites normally have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. We serve halloumi skewers, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and milestone celebrations.
Near Wickham, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Timings are planned around your staff event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
