How our corporate hog roast works in Turnpike Lane
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Turnpike Lane, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. Typical bookings include site open days and staff summer days, serving salads, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Around Turnpike Lane, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Someone to meet us at reception
Turnpike Lane is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or N8 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
