Corporate hog roast in Alkham, slow-roasted on site
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Alkham, roast through the morning and serve at your lunch break. On the menu are crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for open days and family days and staff summer days.
At country workplaces around Alkham, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Somewhere to park our vehicle

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Lunchtime bookings in Alkham are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Alkham
What’s the nearest station to Alkham?
The closest is Kearsney station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can you roast near the sea around Alkham?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you come to Alkham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Alkham and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Looking after everyone

- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten

- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
