The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In summer, Canning Town has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request thin slices
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Chicken can be added.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Where the roaster can go in Canning Town
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Sign-off from management
- A level outdoor area
- A spot that keeps access clear
Canning Town is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
