How our corporate hog roast works in Hollybushes
A summer party for staff in Hollybushes does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for retirements and long-service awards and open days and family days.
At country workplaces around Hollybushes, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Timings are planned around your staff event, working back from when you want to eat.
Questions from Hollybushes
Can you do a hog roast in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
