Corporate hog roast for Coldblow
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Coldblow
A summer party for staff in Coldblow does not have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for staff thank-you lunches and site open days.
Around Coldblow, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. 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.

Why choose a hog roast in Coldblow?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and normally better value. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
A second meat gives the team a choice.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.

The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
As a London location, Coldblow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
