Corporate hog roast in Derry Downs, slow-roasted on site
Lunch breaks are often fixed, so the roast is timed to the minute and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Whether it’s retirements and long-service awards and client hospitality, we can cook hog roast rolls, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb for your staff.
In Derry Downs, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Tell us about site access and security. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Daytime open days in Derry Downs are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
FAQs for Derry Downs
Which station is closest to Derry Downs?
The closest is St Mary Cray station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you need a car park?
A car park, yard or grounds typically works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
Derry Downs is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
