Corporate hog roast for Allington
How our corporate hog roast works in Allington
Sites normally have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Tell us what your facilities team needs. For team days and away days and retirements and long-service awards, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Teams near Allington often go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Tell us about the site and access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Where the roaster can go in Allington
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A named contact for the day
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event. After-work summer events in Allington have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.

- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.

Common questions in Allington
Could you cook in Whatman Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Allington?
The closest is Barming station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you need a car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, outdoors and under cover.
Can you do gluten-free?

What will our facilities team need?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
