About our corporate hog roast in Smithfield
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include site open days and customer days, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
In Smithfield, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Let us know about access and site rules. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Why choose a hog roast in Smithfield?
Next to sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Carved by our chef in front of your staff

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Smithfield
What if our house in Smithfield has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Smithfield?
Smithfield has its own station: Farringdon station.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you come to Smithfield?
Yes, Smithfield is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
Smithfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
