How our corporate hog roast works in Locksbottom
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. One roast feeds a crowd, with our staff serving and clearing. For client hospitality and retirement do’s, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
For offices in and around Locksbottom, the roaster generally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams typically need to approve gas equipment and access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Other occasions in Locksbottom
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
As a London location, Locksbottom 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.
