How our corporate hog roast works in Ponders End
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. Typical bookings include launch days and summer team parties, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and crackling.
For offices in and around Ponders End, 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Common questions in Ponders End
What if our house in Ponders End has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A contact on site
As a London location, Ponders End 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
