What’s the nearest station to Binsted?

Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll make it work.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

About our corporate hog roast in Binsted
Lunch breaks are frequently fixed, so the roast is timed to the minute and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. We are frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and retirement do’s, serving salads, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
At country workplaces around Binsted, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Open days in Binsted normally finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
