Which station is closest to Abbey Wood?

Can you serve a fixed lunch break?

How do we book for a business?

Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Corporate hog roast in Abbey Wood, slow-roasted on site

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Open days in Abbey Wood typically finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A contact on site
As a London location, Abbey Wood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
