Slow-roasted pork in Bishopsgate
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Bishopsgate
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who do not eat pork. On the menu are crackling, roast turkey and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for winter fairs and markets and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
For Christmas parties in Bishopsgate, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
As a London location, Bishopsgate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Bishopsgate, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Bishopsgate questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bishopsgate?
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.
Can you do a hog roast in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
