A hog roast near Bishopsgate
Bishopsgate: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Bishopsgate?
The closest is Egham station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is Bishopsgate close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What will our facilities team need?
Each site is different: send us the checklist and we’ll reply.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will make it work.
Corporate hog roast in Bishopsgate, carved to order
For a staff day in Bishopsgate, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. For family fun days and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb and more.
Rural businesses around Bishopsgate can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
For event organisers in Bishopsgate
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Who books corporate hog roast in Bishopsgate?
