Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Woosehill
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Woosehill all suit a hog roast, as a simple way to say thank you. We’re often asked to cater staff summer days and long-service celebrations, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
Around Woosehill, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A hog roast suits all of them. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Travel to Woosehill
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event

Should I cook it myself?
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 ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Woosehill, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
