Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
How our corporate hog roast works in Widmore
Lunch breaks are often fixed, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We are frequently asked to cater open days and family days and retirements and long-service awards, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
For offices in and around Widmore, the roaster typically goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams usually need to approve gas equipment and access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- A clear quote with everything listed

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

- A named contact for the day
