Corporate hog roast in Upton, slow-roasted on site
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Tell us what your facilities team needs. We’re frequently asked to cater project wrap-ups and summer team parties, with halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
Around Upton, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Facilities teams normally need to approve gas equipment and access. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Access through the site gates
As a London location, Upton 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.
