Why choose a hog roast in Godmersham?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose

How our corporate hog roast works in Godmersham
Staff days in Godmersham work well with a hog roast: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. We serve spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for end-of-project celebrations and client and customer events.
At country workplaces around Godmersham, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
