About our corporate hog roast in Barking

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Barking
What’s the nearest station to Barking?
The closest is Barking station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Barking?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
