About our corporate hog roast in Deal
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Typical bookings include family fun days and retirement do’s, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and rotisserie chicken.
In Deal, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. We bring lunch to the team without anyone leaving. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A contact on site
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Level hardstanding or lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
