How our corporate hog roast works in Crayford
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 staff thank-you lunches and project wrap-ups, with salads, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Teams near Crayford frequently go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Let us know about the site. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
