Diets, allergies and alternatives
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
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How we price a hog roast day
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Lisson Grove: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Lisson Grove?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Regent's Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Winter afternoons in Lisson Grove are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
