Slow-roasted pork in Cowley
Corporate hog roast in Cowley, carved to order
For a staff day in Cowley, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. For summer team parties and away days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In Cowley, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan the roast and service around it. Let us know about access and site rules. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Where the roaster can go in Cowley
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Sign-off for outside caterers
As a London location, Cowley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Cowley, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
