Corporate hog roast in Northfleet, carved to order
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. On the menu are coleslaw, salads and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for family fun days and long-service celebrations.
A staff treat in the yard in Northfleet is easy with a hog roast, if the site agrees. 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
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. For a staff lunch in Northfleet, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

A closer look at the menu

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
