Corporate hog roast for Eastchurch
Corporate hog roast in Eastchurch, carved to order
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. One roast feeds a crowd, with our staff serving and clearing. Whether it’s team treats and family fun days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
Rural businesses around Eastchurch can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a staff lunch in Eastchurch, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Eastchurch
Is Eastchurch too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Eastchurch from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Give us total numbers and we will cater for all.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

What affects the price in Eastchurch
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
