Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Hawley

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Hawley
Do you come out to small places like Hawley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you cover Hawley?
Yes, Hawley is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you need a car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What affects the price in Hawley
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
