How our corporate hog roast works in Woodnesborough
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. Whether it is client and customer events and long-service celebrations, we can cook salads, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
Rural businesses around Woodnesborough can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Someone to meet us at reception
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
