Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Charing Heath

Near Charing Heath, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
What affects the price in Charing Heath
There’s no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Charing Heath
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: use our quote form.

- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Someone to meet us at reception

A hog roast or other catering?

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
