Corporate hog roast for Puddledock
How our corporate hog roast works in Puddledock
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. On the menu are crackling, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater project wrap-ups and retirements and long-service awards.
Around Puddledock, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Facilities teams usually need to approve gas equipment and access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

As a London location, Puddledock 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
