What else we do in City of London
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
Running late? Let us know, and we will adjust where we can.
Ask us to label the meat-free food.
Hog roast, BBQ or something else?
Compared with booking several food vans, a single caterer means one menu, one queue and one point of contact. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and trees
- Space to serve as well as cook
- Access wide enough for our equipment
City of London is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Common questions in City of London
What’s the nearest station to City of London?
City of London has its own station: London Cannon Street station.
Could you cook in St Alphage Garden?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Can we put you in touch with our venue?
Yes. Give us their contact details and we will agree the details with them.
Do you cater large events?
Yes. A hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and for big events many hosts add a barbecue. Give us rough numbers and the serving time and we will plan the service.
Which menu suits our event?
That depends on who’s coming: a hog roast suits a crowd, a barbecue suits mixed tastes. Tell us about the event and we will suggest one.
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.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
