FAQs for Temple
Can you do a hog roast in Garden Bridge?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in Temple has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
When should we book our Christmas party?
The earlier the better. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Share the allergen information in advance
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Christmas parties in Temple are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.

Temple is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in Greater London. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Temple and the surrounding area. Temple is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Temple Church can book a hog roast stall. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, hot rolls go down well.
Wherever your Christmas party is in SE1, WC2H and WC2B, we can bring the roaster to you. Whether your Christmas party is on Shoe Lane, Drury Lane and New Square or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. With the A4 and A40 close by, Temple is simple for us to get to with the roaster.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
