How our corporate hog roast works in Dean Street
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Popular choices include crackling, salads and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for site openings and retirement do’s.
For farms and rural sites near Dean Street, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your staff.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access through the site gates
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Dean Street
Could you cook in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes. Give us total numbers and we’ll cater for all.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days.
