Corporate hog roast in Forestdale, slow-roasted on site
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Whether it’s team days and away days and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and coleslaw for your staff.
For offices in and around Forestdale, the roaster generally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Forestdale is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
Forestdale questions
Which station is closest to Forestdale?
The closest is Sanderstead station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Addington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll confirm how booking and payment work.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about family fun days?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we will cater for all.
Can you roast in the rain?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with individual food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Served at the time you choose

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
