How our corporate hog roast works in Poverest
Whether it is twenty people or a whole site, the roast is sized to fit. Tell us the numbers and the serving window and we will quote. Whether it’s team treats and team-building days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls.
Around Poverest, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. 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.

Poverest questions
Can you do a hog roast in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Poverest has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- A named contact for the day
- Shelter for the team
As a London location, Poverest is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a staff lunch in Poverest, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
