Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Parking near the cooking area
- Clearance from walls and tents
As a London location, Spitalfields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP

We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
