How our corporate hog roast works in Gospel Oak
Staff days in Gospel Oak work well with a hog roast: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. There are choices for people who don’t eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater team-building days and thank-you lunches, serving salads, crackling and hog roast rolls.
London work events in Gospel Oak frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Tell us about site access and security. 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.

FAQs for Gospel Oak
Could you cook in Parliament Hill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Gospel Oak has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with alternatives for everyone.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Where the roaster can go in Gospel Oak
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A named contact for the day
As a London location, Gospel Oak 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
