How our corporate hog roast works in West Stourmouth
A summer party for staff in West Stourmouth doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater client hospitality and end-of-project celebrations.
Near West Stourmouth, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in West Stourmouth
Which station is closest to West Stourmouth?
Minster station, about 3.7 miles east of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll make it work.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
