Corporate hog roast in Shorne
Corporate hog roast in Shorne, carved to order
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. For client hospitality and team days and away days, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb and more.
Near Shorne, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains

Shorne questions
Could you cook in Shorne Woods Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Shorne from London?
About 23 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm how booking and payment work.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
