Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Corporate hog roast in Blackfen, carved to order
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Tell us what your facilities team needs. Popular choices include coleslaw, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and away days.
For offices in and around Blackfen, the roaster usually goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams normally need to approve gas equipment and access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Questions from Blackfen
Can you do a hog roast in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Blackfen?
The closest is Falconwood station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or DA15 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. For a staff lunch in Blackfen, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
