Corporate hog roast in Whetstone, carved to order
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Tell us what your facilities team needs. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for away days and launch days.
Around Whetstone, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your staff.

FAQs for Whetstone
Can you do a hog roast in Swan Lane Open Space?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Whetstone?
Oakleigh Park station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
China crockery is available for client events.
Why choose a hog roast in Whetstone?
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What happens on the day
