Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Southwark
A summer party for staff in Southwark doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Whether it is retirements and long-service awards and team days and away days, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and coleslaw for your staff.
For offices in and around Southwark, the roaster normally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Take a look at how we price or what a hog roast costs.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Southwark, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Someone to meet us at reception
Southwark 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Salads
- Spit-roast lamb
- Rotisserie chicken

Southwark: your questions answered
Could you cook in Little Dorrit's Playground?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Southwark?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What will our facilities team need?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will confirm what we can provide.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
