At country workplaces around Hollingbourne, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.

- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- Numbers
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
