How our corporate hog roast works in Chevening
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Whether it’s client and customer events and team treats, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and hog roast rolls and more.
Near Chevening, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A named contact for the day
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Chevening
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
