How our corporate hog roast works in Limehouse
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. For site open days and milestone celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, salads and hog roast rolls for your staff.
Around Limehouse, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Daytime open days in Limehouse are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

Common questions in Limehouse
Can you do a hog roast in Bartlett Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Limehouse?
Limehouse has its own station: Limehouse station.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
