Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: turkey and pork together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Bow Common questions
Can you do a hog roast in Bartlett Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bow Common?
Frequently, 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 we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Prices and what affects them

Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and time of the event
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or E14 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Where the roaster can go in Bow Common

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