How our corporate hog roast works in Bow Common
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. One roast feeds a crowd, and our team serves and clears. We’re often asked to cater project wrap-ups and team-building days, with spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
For offices in and around Bow Common, the roaster usually goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams usually need to approve gas equipment and access. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
Bow Common is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Bow Common, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
