Corporate hog roast for Barnes Cray
Corporate hog roast in Barnes Cray, slow-roasted on site
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We are often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and site openings, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Teams near Barnes Cray frequently 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’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Daytime open days in Barnes Cray are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

How to get a price

Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Full catering or machine hire?
