Corporate hog roast in Wye, slow-roasted on site
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. We are frequently asked to cater customer days and launch days, serving spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Rural businesses around Wye can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Open days in Wye generally finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

FAQs for Wye

How do we book for a business?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we will confirm how booking and payment work.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.

Planning for dietary needs

- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
