How our corporate hog roast works in Wapping
Staff days in Wapping work well with a hog roast: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. Whether it is staff summer days and family fun days, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
Around Wapping, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Facilities teams normally need to approve gas equipment and access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

For event organisers in Wapping

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A contact on site
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
As a London location, Wapping 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it

- Request gluten-free rolls
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Wapping, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
