About our corporate hog roast in Bethersden
Staff days in Bethersden work well with a hog roast: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for team treats and site open days.
Rural businesses around Bethersden can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A named contact for the day
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Bethersden
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN26 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
