About our corporate hog roast in Charing
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Tell us what your facilities team needs. For site open days and milestone celebrations, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
Work events near Charing might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A hog roast suits all of them. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Charing questions
How far is Charing from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What will our facilities team need?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, with plates or china.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- A named contact for the day
- Access through the site gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
