Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Hackney
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. We serve spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for customer days and team treats.
London work events in Hackney often run to a tight lunch break, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Tell us about site access and security. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Questions from Hackney
Which station is closest to Hackney?
Homerton station, in Hackney itself.
Could you cook in Clapton Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will tell you what we can send.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Hackney for staff days and open days
Hackney is about 4 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Hackney and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
The A107 and B113 put Hackney within easy reach for us. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: there is a station right in Hackney: Homerton station.
This part of Greater London takes in E9, E8, E3 and E5. Streets in the area include Homerton High Street, Primrose Square and St John's Church Road, and a staff event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. You will find Hackney on the A107 and B113, which makes the journey straightforward.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A named contact for the day
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
As a London location, Hackney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 you book.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
