What’s the nearest station to City of London?
London Cannon Street station, in City of London itself.
Is mains power needed?

How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What will our facilities team need?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we’ll respond.

Corporate hog roast in City of London, carved to order
A summer party for staff in City of London does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. On the menu are halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for customer days and family fun days.
In City of London, lunch breaks are often short, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Tell us about site access and security. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. The main driver is numbers: 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
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Access through the site gates
As a London location, City of London is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
