How our corporate hog roast works in Baker's Cross
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Typical bookings include site open days and site openings, with crackling, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Near Baker's Cross, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Baker's Cross: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Baker's Cross?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Baker's Cross close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
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.
Can it be more formal?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you cover Baker's Cross?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Baker's Cross and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.

How we price a hog roast for your team
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
China crockery is available for client events.
