About our corporate hog roast in Fickleshole
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Typical bookings include retirements and long-service awards and staff summer days, with crackling, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw.
At country workplaces around Fickleshole, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. 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.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Fickleshole
Could you cook in Addington Vale?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Fickleshole?
The closest is Woldingham station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we will plan for everyone.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
Why choose a hog roast in Fickleshole?
If it’s for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.

After-work summer events in Fickleshole have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
