Corporate hog roast for Elephant and Castle
How our corporate hog roast works in Elephant and Castle
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Elephant and Castle, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. We’re frequently asked to cater staff summer days and long-service celebrations, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
Around Elephant and Castle, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Facilities teams usually need to approve gas equipment and access. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
As a London location, Elephant and Castle 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Elephant and Castle: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Elephant and Castle?
Elephant and Castle has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Elephant and Castle?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens after service?

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Elephant and Castle, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
