Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Bearsted
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Tell us what your facilities team needs. For team treats and team days and away days, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken for your staff.
Teams near Bearsted often go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Let us know about the site. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Lunchtime bookings in Bearsted are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Bearsted
What’s the nearest station to Bearsted?
Bearsted has its own station: Bearsted station.
Can you do a hog roast in Mote Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you need a car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, as long as it’s outdoors.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you come to Bearsted?

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
