How our corporate hog roast works in Goudhurst
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls keep service fast. Whether it is summer team parties and milestone celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb and more.
At country workplaces around Goudhurst, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.

Common questions in Goudhurst
Is Goudhurst too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in The Gill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
