About our corporate hog roast in Chartham Hatch
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 end-of-project celebrations and retirement do’s, we can cook halloumi skewers, coleslaw and hog roast rolls and more.
Rural businesses around Chartham Hatch can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours.

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Shelter for the team

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and normally better value. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
