DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How our corporate hog roast works in Knockholt Pound
A summer party for staff in Knockholt Pound doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We’re often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and retirements and long-service awards, with coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Near Knockholt Pound, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
