Lunch breaks are frequently fixed, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We serve salads, crackling and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for family fun days and team-building days.
In Heron Quays, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan the roast and service around it. Let us know about access and site rules. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact for the day
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Access through the site gates
As a London location, Heron Quays is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Open days in Heron Quays generally finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
