Corporate hog roast for Hampton
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Hampton
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. One roast feeds a crowd, and our team serves and clears. We serve crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for site openings and staff summer days.
Around Hampton, teams work at farms, workshops and units. It works at any of them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Common questions in Hampton
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Hampton?
The closest is Herne Bay station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will plan around them.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Lunchtime bookings in Hampton are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Hampton
- Site access
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
