About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Winter afternoons in Bow Common are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your residents

Common questions in Bow Common
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bow Common?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Bartlett Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Where will the roaster go?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates are often easier for residents.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
