Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About our corporate hog roast in Southgate
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. Popular choices include coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater staff summer days and project wrap-ups.
For offices in and around Southgate, the roaster usually goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams usually need to approve gas equipment and access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What affects the price in Southgate
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Common questions in Southgate
What if our house in Southgate has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Grovelands Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about family fun days?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with alternatives for everyone.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you cater in Southgate?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. For a staff lunch in Southgate, daylight is not 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.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
