Corporate hog roast for Elmers End
About our corporate hog roast in Elmers End
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. Whether it is open days and family days and team days and away days, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb and more.
London work events in Elmers End frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Tell us about site access and security. 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.

- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Elmers End
Could you cook in Winsford Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Elmers End?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with alternatives for everyone.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

What else we do in Elmers End
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evening staff events in Elmers End need light after sunset: about 9:20pm in June, 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
