Corporate hog roast in Bean, carved to order
A summer party for staff in Bean doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. For client and customer events and team treats, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and salads for your staff.
For farms and rural sites near Bean, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Bean questions
Can you do a hog roast in Beacon Wood Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, given level ground and clearance.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Bean, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:

Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
