Corporate hog roast for Hawkhurst
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Hawkhurst, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
Every staff event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
