Planning an event in Thornton Heath?
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About our corporate hog roast in Thornton Heath
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. For milestone celebrations and site openings, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your staff.
For offices in and around Thornton Heath, the roaster generally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams usually need to approve gas equipment and access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Thornton Heath, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
