How our corporate hog roast works in Kingsgate
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We roast on site in Kingsgate through the morning and carve at the time you set. On the menu are coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for client hospitality and summer staff parties.
Near Kingsgate, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Kingsgate questions
What’s the nearest station to Kingsgate?
The closest is Broadstairs station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
How far is Kingsgate from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you need a car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. After-work summer events in Kingsgate have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:45pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help

- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
