Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Rhodes Minnis

Rhodes Minnis questions
What’s the nearest station to Rhodes Minnis?
The closest is Sandling station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.

Workplace catering around Rhodes Minnis
Rhodes Minnis is about 5 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. We cover Rhodes Minnis and its neighbours for staff events. Rhodes Minnis is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Rhodes Minnis to Canterbury (9 miles away).
Rhodes Minnis is about 56 miles from central London. Within reach of Rhodes Minnis are historic houses such as Acrise Place (2.6 miles east) and Westenhanger Castle (4 miles south-west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for outside caterers. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 2 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. Within about 6 miles of the sea, sites can be windy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
We bring hog roasts to staff events all over the CT4 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Longage Hill and Green Lane, and a staff event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Why choose a hog roast in Rhodes Minnis?
Next to a plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a staff lunch in Rhodes Minnis, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
