Corporate hog roast in Margate, carved to order

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Common questions in Margate
Which station is closest to Margate?
The closest is Margate station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
How far is Margate from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?

How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where on site can you cook?
Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it is outdoors.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Open days in Margate normally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
