How our event catering works in Charing Cross
Choosing caterers in Charing Cross starts with the food. Ours is simple and generous: a carved hog roast, a barbecue, or the two together. Typical bookings include weddings and evening receptions and festive parties, serving spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls with crackling and beef burgers.
In a London neighbourhood like Charing Cross, access is the first thing caterers ask about. We need an outdoor space and a route in, which rules out some flats but suits most gardens, yards and courtyards. Send us a photo. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

FAQs for Charing Cross
Which station is closest to Charing Cross?
London Charing Cross station, in Charing Cross itself.
Could you cook in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

What kind of caterers are you?
We cook on site at your event: a hog roast, a barbecue or both, with vegetarian and vegan options. We serve and tidy up.
Can you feed a big crowd?
A hog roast is made for big groups. Tell us about the event and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Find out who avoids pork for the alternatives
- Tell us about children’s numbers
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving.
Ask us to label the meat-free food.
How the day works
With cover over the cooking, rain rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Around midsummer it stays light in Charing Cross until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so most summer events eat in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning the cooking spot

As a London location, Charing Cross is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
