Corporate hog roast in London Docklands, carved to order
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Typical bookings include team-building days and long-service celebrations, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In London Docklands, lunch breaks are frequently short, 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.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access through the site gates
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Someone to meet us at reception
London Docklands is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

London Docklands questions
Can you do a hog roast in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in London Docklands has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: send us the checklist and we will reply.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you cover London Docklands?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.

Other occasions in London Docklands
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
