DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Corporate hog roast in North Woolwich, carved to order
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in North Woolwich all suit a hog roast, as a simple way to say thank you. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater client hospitality and team-building days.
Around North Woolwich, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Facilities teams normally need to approve gas equipment and access. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For a staff lunch in North Woolwich, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early

- Someone to meet us at reception
As a London location, North Woolwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
