Event catering in Walthamstow
How our event catering works in Walthamstow
Some caterers need a kitchen; we bring our own cooking to you. That means almost any outdoor space in Walthamstow can work. For festive parties and school fairs and sports days, we can cook hog roast rolls with crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Events in Walthamstow range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

The process
We arrive with everything we need to cook and serve, and set up on the spot we agreed. From there, food is timed to your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Walthamstow until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up on the agreed spot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

A closer look at the menu
Pulled pork
Slow-cooked pork, pulled apart, and served in a soft roll, often with coleslaw.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Your questions about caterers in Walthamstow
Can you do a hog roast in Lloyd Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Walthamstow?
Walthamstow Central station, in Walthamstow itself.
Do you cover Walthamstow?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Walthamstow and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Should we choose a hog roast or a barbecue?
A hog roast is the showpiece; a barbecue gives more variety. For big events, both works well.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What about vegetarian guests?
Yes, with halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Can we put you in touch with our venue?
Yes: we’ll liaise with the venue on access and set-up.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
No kitchen needed: we just need a level, open spot outside.

What catering costs
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Roughly how many people

How we compare with other caterers
Compared with booking several food vans, a single caterer means one menu, one queue and one point of contact. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
