Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Bessels Green
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. We’re frequently asked to cater launch days and open days and family days, with hog roast rolls, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
Rural businesses around Bessels Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What’s the nearest station to Bessels Green?
The closest is Sevenoaks station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you do a hog roast in Montreal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will make it work.
How do we book for a business?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
