How our corporate hog roast works in Twydall
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Twydall, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. Whether it’s open days and family days and away days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling for your staff.
Teams near Twydall often go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Tell us about the site and access. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your staff event in Twydall. Daytime open days in Twydall are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- The team carves and serves on time.

Common questions in Twydall
Can you do a hog roast in Riverside Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you cater open days with families?
We do. Give us total numbers and we’ll cater for all.
How much does a hog roast cost?

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What affects the price in Twydall
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
