About our corporate hog roast in Dungeness
A summer party for staff in Dungeness doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Whether it is client hospitality and retirement do’s, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
Near Dungeness, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Daytime open days in Dungeness are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Common questions in Dungeness
How far is Dungeness from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Dungeness?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What affects the price in Dungeness
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
China crockery is available for client events.
