Corporate hog roast in Aldington, carved to order
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. One roast feeds a crowd, and our team serves and clears. Typical bookings include retirements and long-service awards and team-building days, with spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
At country workplaces around Aldington, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
