Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How our corporate hog roast works in Studdal
Staff days in Studdal work well with a hog roast: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. We serve hog roast rolls, salads and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for launch days and team days and away days.
For farms and rural sites near Studdal, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. 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.
Staff days in Studdal: access and travel
Studdal is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Studdal and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
For colleagues arriving by train, the closest railway station is Martin Mill station, roughly 2.3 miles south-east of the centre. Studdal is about 64 miles from central London. Within about 5 miles of the sea, sites can be windy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Wherever your staff event is in CT15, we can bring the roaster to you. Streets in the area include Chapel Lane, Homestead Lane and Northdowns Close, and a staff event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Close by, we cover staff events in Ashley (1 mile south-west), East Studdal (1 mile north-east), West Langdon (1 mile south), Sutton (1 mile east) and Martin (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (12 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north), Dover (4 miles south), Folkestone (10 miles south-west), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Walmer Castle (4 miles east) and Dover Transport Museum (3.2 miles south).

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Whatever the occasion in Studdal, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We’re often asked to cater:
- Team-building days
- Site open days

Nearby historic houses include Walmer Castle (4 miles east) and Goodnestone Park (5 miles north-west). Historic venues suit client days, but check their rules on gas cooking first.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Studdal
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. After-work summer events in Studdal have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:45pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: use our quote form.
