Workplace catering around Chislet
Chislet is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Chislet. Chislet is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
For colleagues arriving by train, Herne Bay station, about 3.7 miles north-west, is the nearest station. Within about 4 miles of the sea, sites can be windy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How we price a hog roast for your team
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Chislet, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
