Corporate hog roast in Coldharbour
How our corporate hog roast works in Coldharbour
A summer party for staff in Coldharbour does not have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Whether it is team treats and open days and family days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, salads and hog roast rolls for your staff.
Near Coldharbour, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.

What else we do in Coldharbour
Coldharbour: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Coldharbour?
Holmwood station, about 1.6 miles east of the centre.
Is Coldharbour close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
