How our corporate hog roast works in Sandwich Bay Estate
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include project wrap-ups and retirements and long-service awards, with crackling, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
At country workplaces around Sandwich Bay Estate, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Shelter for the team
- A named contact for the day
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
How we price a hog roast for your team
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.

What comes off the roaster

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
