About our corporate hog roast in East Peckham
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in East Peckham, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. Typical bookings include project wrap-ups and site open days, serving rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
Rural businesses around East Peckham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. 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.

It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. After-work summer events in East Peckham have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
