Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. If your staff event in Fleeden runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:15pm in June, 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
How to prepare

- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What will our facilities team need?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
