A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How we price a hog roast for your team
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Questions from Park Wood
How far is Park Wood from London?
About 33 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How does payment work for businesses?
Contact us with your details, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it is outdoors.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening staff events in Park Wood need light after sunset: about 9:15pm in June, 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
