Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
About our corporate hog roast in Yalding
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include customer days and thank-you lunches, with halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls.
Near Yalding, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Yalding questions
Could you cook in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Yalding too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Yalding?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Yalding and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Where on site can you cook?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
