Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Corporate hog roast in Wood Street Village, slow-roasted on site
A summer party for staff in Wood Street Village does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We serve spit-roast lamb, crackling and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for thank-you lunches and staff summer days.
Rural businesses around Wood Street Village can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
How we price a hog roast for your team
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- A picture of the cooking area
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
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 safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Sign-off for outside caterers

After-work summer events in Wood Street Village have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening.

Planning for dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
