- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Corporate hog roast in Gadshill, carved to order
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 serve crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for long-service celebrations and customer days.
For farms and rural sites near Gadshill, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Open days in Gadshill normally finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Gadshill hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
