How our corporate hog roast works in South Woodford
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Whether it’s retirement do’s and milestone celebrations, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
In South Woodford, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we plan the roast and service around it. Let us know about access and site rules. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The process

After-work summer events in South Woodford have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Access through the site gates
- Someone to meet us at reception
As a London location, South Woodford 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.

Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
