Corporate hog roast for Royal Docks
Corporate hog roast in Royal Docks, carved to order
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. Whether it is new premises openings and staff summer days, we can cook crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken for your staff.
For offices in and around Royal Docks, the roaster normally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
