Slow-roasted pork in Bishopsgate
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How our corporate hog roast works in Bishopsgate
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for project wrap-ups and site openings.
In Bishopsgate, lunch breaks are often short, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Let us know about access and site rules. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Common questions in Bishopsgate
Could you cook in Finsbury Circus?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Bishopsgate has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you cover Bishopsgate?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Bishopsgate and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Share the allergen information with the team
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Access through the site gates
- A named contact for the day
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
As a London location, Bishopsgate 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.
