Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.

How our corporate hog roast works in West Hackney
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Typical bookings include long-service celebrations and team days and away days, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
For offices in and around West Hackney, the roaster usually goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams generally need to approve gas equipment and access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

West Hackney for staff days and open days
West Hackney is about 4 miles north of London, in Greater London. West Hackney is well within our area for staff events and the places nearby. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Nearby historic houses include Sutton House (1.2 miles south-east) and Bruce Castle (2.7 miles north). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for outside caterers. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: West Hackney has its own station, Rectory Road station.
For staff events in N16, E5 and E8, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Your staff event could be at a house on Muir Road, Burma Road and Piano Lane, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. West Hackney sits on or near the A107, so getting the roaster to your staff event is simple. Nearby, we also cater staff events in Shacklewell (1 mile south), Stoke Newington (1 mile west), Clapton (1 mile east), Stamford Hill (1 mile north) and Upper Clapton (1 mile north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (4 miles south), City of Westminster (5 miles south-west), Marylebone (4 miles south-west), Kensington (7 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles south-west) and Walthamstow (3 miles north-east).
A little further out are Clowns Gallery-Museum (1.1 miles south) and German Hospital (0.9 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Woodberry Wetlands and Hollow Pond.
- Local schools include Tawhid Boys School (under half a mile north) and The Petchey Academy (0.5 miles south)

- How many people are eating
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Details that help

When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs

- Level hardstanding or lawn
West Hackney 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
