Corporate hog roast in Lamberhurst, slow-roasted on site
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Tell us what your facilities team needs. For milestone celebrations and team days and away days, we’ll put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Near Lamberhurst, 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.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

What affects the price in Lamberhurst
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
Send us the date, the address or TN3 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
