The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
How our corporate hog roast works in Clerkenwell
Sites usually have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. Typical bookings include team treats and away days, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In Clerkenwell, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Let us know about access and site rules. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Clerkenwell: your questions answered
Could you cook in King Square Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Clerkenwell has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What affects the price in Clerkenwell
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
