About our corporate hog roast in Woodside
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We roast on site in Woodside through the morning and carve at the time you set. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for team days and away days and long-service celebrations.
Around Woodside, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Facilities teams normally need to approve gas equipment and access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- A contact on site
Woodside is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for staff who do not eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

What affects the price in Woodside
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
