Corporate hog roast for Cudham
How our corporate hog roast works in Cudham
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls keep service fast. Popular choices include crackling, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and client hospitality.
Near Cudham, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Cudham: your questions answered
Is Cudham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Cudham?
The closest is Chelsfield station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What will our facilities team need?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
