Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Shadwell
Sites usually have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. Whether it’s staff summer days and thank-you lunches, we can cook salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers and more.
Around Shadwell, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Facilities teams generally need to approve gas equipment and access. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Lunchtime bookings in Shadwell are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What affects the price in Shadwell
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
