St Luke's questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in St Luke's?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Artillery Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, it is dark in St Luke's by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
