Corporate hog roast in Aldgate, slow-roasted on site
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We roast on site in Aldgate through the morning and carve at the time you set. Typical bookings include open days and family days and end-of-project celebrations, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
For offices in and around Aldgate, the roaster normally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams usually need to approve gas equipment 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.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.

- Fresh carving at the serving station

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
Common questions in Aldgate
Could you cook in Finsbury Circus?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Aldgate has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can a company book?
Send your requirements, and the quote will include the terms.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we’ll plan around them.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
