How our corporate hog roast works in South Street
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for team days and away days and family fun days.
At country workplaces around South Street, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What about family fun days?

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, everyone gets to join in. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
