Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Fant
A summer party for staff in Fant does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include team days and away days and client hospitality, serving salads, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Around Fant, teams work at farms, workshops and units. It works at any of them. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
When you contact us, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about

Organising for someone else?

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Common questions in Fant
Could you cook in Whatman Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Fant?
The closest is East Farleigh station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and usually better value. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
