Fridays in December go first, so ask early. We are often asked to cater lights switch-on evenings and sports club Christmas do’s, serving roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
For Christmas parties in De Beauvoir Town, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads.

Questions from De Beauvoir Town
Could you cook in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to De Beauvoir Town?
Dalston Junction station, in De Beauvoir Town itself.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, it is dark in De Beauvoir Town by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A short route for our equipment
As a London location, De Beauvoir Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in De Beauvoir Town
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Roast turkey can be added.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Travel to De Beauvoir Town
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
