Corporate hog roast in Hythe
How our corporate hog roast works in Hythe
A summer party for staff in Hythe does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. On the menu are salads, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for customer days and long-service celebrations.
In Hythe, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. A hog roast feeds the team on site. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Daytime open days in Hythe are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.

How we price a hog roast for your team
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
