How our corporate hog roast works in Woodley
From a small team to a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings and we’ll quote. We’re often asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and client and customer events, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
A staff treat in the yard in Woodley is easy with a hog roast, as long as the site allows gas cooking. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information with the team
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. After-work summer events in Woodley have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
