How our corporate hog roast works in Ringmer
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Ringmer, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for retirements and long-service awards and summer staff parties.
Work events near Ringmer might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours.

Common questions in Ringmer
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Ringmer?
Glynde station, about 2.4 miles south of the centre.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Where on site can you cook?
Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it is outdoors.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a staff lunch in Ringmer, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
