Corporate hog roast in Pratling Street, slow-roasted on site
A summer party for staff in Pratling Street does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. For team-building days and client and customer events, we can cook spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
For farms and rural sites near Pratling Street, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Lunchtime bookings in Pratling Street are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
