Corporate hog roast in Woolwich
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Woolwich
In Woolwich, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. We’re often asked to cater retirements and long-service awards and staff summer days, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
For offices in and around Woolwich, the roaster normally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. 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.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events.
FAQs for Woolwich
Could you cook in Woolwich Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Woolwich?
Woolwich Dockyard station, in Woolwich itself.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Woolwich, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

For event organisers in Woolwich
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Where the roaster can go in Woolwich
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access through the site gates
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Shelter for the team
As a London location, Woolwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
