About our corporate hog roast in Lynsted

For farms and rural sites near Lynsted, 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 are ready to eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
