Corporate hog roast for Kingsnorth
About our corporate hog roast in Kingsnorth
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Popular choices include crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for retirement do’s and staff thank-you lunches.
Near Kingsnorth, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Timings are planned around your staff event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
