About our corporate hog roast in Maidstone
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Maidstone all suit a hog roast, as a simple way to say thank you. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and staff summer days, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
Workplaces in Maidstone range from offices to depots. The site needs to agree a cooking spot. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A contact on site
- Shelter for the team
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. After-work summer events in Maidstone have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
