Corporate hog roast in Oval, carved to order
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Typical bookings include summer team parties and team days and away days, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
In Oval, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Tell us about site access and security. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Oval: your questions answered
Could you cook in Vauxhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Oval?
Oval has its own station: Vauxhall station.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How do we book for a business?
Send your requirements, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.

Your quote depends on:

- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

As a London location, Oval is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
