Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a staff lunch in Shortlands, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A named contact for the day
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
Shortlands is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
