About our corporate hog roast in Herne Pound
A summer party for staff in Herne Pound does not have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. For team-building days and site openings, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
For farms and rural sites near Herne Pound, 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 you book.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Herne Pound, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
