Graveney: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Graveney?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
How our corporate hog roast works in Graveney
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater site open days and summer team parties.
At country workplaces around Graveney, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- A named contact for the day
- Access through the site gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
