- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.

Little Chelsea: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Little Chelsea?
Imperial Wharf station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Little Chelsea?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We’ll serve however suits your residents.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
