Event catering in Clerkenwell: what to know
Clerkenwell is about 2 miles north of London, in Greater London. We cater events of every size in Clerkenwell. We cover 764 places across Greater London.
Planning an event in King Square Gardens? Any cooking there needs the landowner’s permission, typically the council’s. Churches such as St James's Church rarely have room to cook, but a hall or garden nearby usually does.

Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is what matters most. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Space to serve as well as cook
As a London location, Clerkenwell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Common questions in Clerkenwell
Can you do a hog roast in King Square Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if our house in Clerkenwell has no side access?
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’ll advise.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Can you cater in Clerkenwell?
Yes, Clerkenwell is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Do you cater weddings and work events?
Weddings, birthdays and garden parties, staff days, Christmas parties, fêtes and school events, wakes, care homes and film sets.
Does the venue need a kitchen?
No. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, which is why we can cater almost anywhere.
Do you supply china?
Plates are standard. China is available on request.
Are you a full-service caterer?
We are a mobile catering company that cooks on site: hog roast and BBQ menus, with meat-free options. Our staff serve and clear.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving.
A hog roast can come with lamb or chicken alongside.
Step by step
We set up under cover where we agreed, well before food time. With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat, so we plan our arrival around your serving time. In Clerkenwell, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so most summer events eat in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 3:55pm.
- Share the date, the place and how many.
- Choose your menu with us.
- We set up before food time.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests

What we cook
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Why choose us as your caterers in Clerkenwell?
Compared with a caterer who drops food off, our team cooks on site and serves your guests, and clears up afterwards. 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.
