About our corporate hog roast in Southernden
Lunch breaks are frequently fixed, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for site open days and staff thank-you lunches.
Near Southernden, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
For event organisers in Southernden
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
