Corporate hog roast for Sandway
How our corporate hog roast works in Sandway
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. Typical bookings include client and customer events and retirement do’s, with coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
At country workplaces around Sandway, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Shelter for the team
- A named contact for the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Sandway
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Sandway?
Lenham station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cover Sandway?
Yes, Sandway is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Each site is different: send us the checklist and we’ll reply.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Sandway
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.

How it works
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 Sandway, 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 9:15pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
