How our corporate hog roast works in West Norwood
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in West Norwood, roast through the morning and serve at your lunch break. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re often booked for staff summer days and project wrap-ups.
For offices in and around West Norwood, the roaster typically goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams typically need to approve gas equipment and access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with individual food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What affects the price in West Norwood
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

- Plates or china
- Time on site
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Anything the venue has asked for

What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a staff lunch in West Norwood, 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.

FAQs for West Norwood
What if our house in West Norwood has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Long Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
