Event catering near Bishopsgate
Good event catering in Bishopsgate comes down to three things: food people enjoy, served on time, with no mess left behind. That’s how we work, with a hog roast or a barbecue. We are often asked to cater weddings and evening receptions and crew lunches, with beef brisket, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Getting our equipment into a London venue in Bishopsgate needs a little planning: parking for our vehicle and a route to the cooking spot. We will plan the rest. We cater the food, cooked on site, whether it’s a hog roast, a barbecue or both.

Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is what matters most. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the cooking
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
Bishopsgate 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.

Bishopsgate: your questions answered

Bishopsgate has its own station: London Liverpool Street station.
Can you do a hog roast in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you only do hog roasts?
No. We also do BBQ catering, with burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, and many events have both.
Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
A hog roast is the showpiece; a barbecue offers more choice. Many bigger events have both.
Do you come to Bishopsgate?
Yes, Bishopsgate is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can you cater a small event?
Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest what works. For smaller numbers, a barbecue is often the best fit.
Is crockery included?
Plates are standard. China is available on request.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so you don’t need to borrow anything for the cooking.
Ask for both menus for a long day, such as a wedding with evening guests.

How we compare with other caterers
Next to catering it yourself, you get your day back. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
- Cooked on site by our chef

For event organisers in Bishopsgate
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
