Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Southfleet
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and we are often booked for launch days and client hospitality.
For farms and rural sites near Southfleet, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Southfleet questions
How far is Southfleet from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Southfleet?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
