How our corporate hog roast works in Pentonville
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for site openings and milestone celebrations.
For offices in and around Pentonville, the roaster typically goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams normally need to approve gas equipment and access. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours.
