Corporate hog roast in Chillenden, carved to order
A summer party for staff in Chillenden doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater team-building days and team treats.
Rural businesses around Chillenden can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Access through the site gates
- A contact on site
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices

- Spit-roast lamb
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Coleslaw

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every staff event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Chillenden

How far is Chillenden from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up?

How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
