A hog roast near Old Town
Corporate hog roast in Old Town, slow-roasted on site
For a staff day in Old Town, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement do’s and customer days, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Around Old Town, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.

- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A contact on site
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Old Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
