Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Charing Cross
Staff days in Charing Cross work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who don’t eat pork. On the menu are coleslaw, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for away days and long-service celebrations.
London work events in Charing Cross frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Let us know about access and site rules. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Charing Cross
What’s the nearest station to Charing Cross?
Charing Cross has its own station: London Charing Cross station.
Could you cook in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
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 it be more formal?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We will sign in and follow site rules.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

What else we do in Charing Cross
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
