How our corporate hog roast works in Farthing Street
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. We’re frequently asked to cater summer team parties and team-building days, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
Around Farthing Street, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

FAQs for Farthing Street
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if our house in Farthing Street has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Prices and what affects them

Catered or do it yourself?

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
