Corporate hog roast in Stanhope
How our corporate hog roast works in Stanhope
From a small team to a whole site, the roast is sized to fit. Tell us the numbers and the serving window and we’ll quote. For retirements and long-service awards and open days and family days, we can cook crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Work events near Stanhope might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Sign-off for outside caterers
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or TN23 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Stanhope
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Stanhope from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we will respond.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What about family fun days?
We do. Give us total numbers and we will plan for everyone.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
