Slow-roasted pork in Offham
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Corporate hog roast in Offham, slow-roasted on site
Staff days in Offham work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater summer team parties and team-building days, with crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb.
For farms and rural sites near Offham, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Offham: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Offham?
The closest is West Malling station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Offham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How do we book for a business?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm how booking and payment work.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you need a car park?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- Travel to Offham
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
