Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In summer, Gallows Corner has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the 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.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

How we price a hog roast day
The biggest factors are:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Approval from the home
- Someone to meet us
Gallows Corner 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.
