Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
Bow questions
Is Bow close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Bow?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: send us the checklist and we will reply.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening staff events in Bow need light after sunset: sunset ranges from about 9:25pm in June to 4:00pm in December.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
