Slow-roasted pork in Chelsham
How our corporate hog roast works in Chelsham
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and open days and family days, with coleslaw, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Rural businesses around Chelsham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event. If your staff event in Chelsham runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:20pm in June to 3:55pm in December.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Spit-roast lamb

- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Chelsham hosts choose us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
