A hog roast near Luddesdown
How our corporate hog roast works in Luddesdown
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls keep service fast. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and typical bookings are for customer days and summer team parties.
For farms and rural sites near Luddesdown, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
How we price a hog roast for your team
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Open days in Luddesdown typically finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm.

Can you do a hog roast in Camer Park Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Luddesdown?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
For event organisers in Luddesdown
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
