How our corporate hog roast works in Hollow Street
A summer party for staff in Hollow Street does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Whether it’s away days and new premises openings, we can cook coleslaw, salads and crackling for your staff.
Near Hollow Street, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it is for clients, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- 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.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
