Corporate hog roast in Finsbury, slow-roasted on site
In Finsbury, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. For launch days and summer staff parties, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads for your staff.
For offices in and around Finsbury, the roaster normally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams normally need to approve gas equipment and access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Finsbury, 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.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
