Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Broadgate, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
