- Light by the serving table
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
As a London location, Covent Garden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
