Corporate hog roast in Farningham, carved to order
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and long-service celebrations.
Near Farningham, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
