Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Boyden Gate

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Daytime open days in Boyden Gate are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.

- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- The team carves and serves on time.

Questions from Boyden Gate
Can you roast near the sea around Boyden Gate?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
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 leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
