DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Questions from Canary Wharf
Which station is closest to Canary Wharf?
Canary Wharf has its own station: Canary Wharf station.
Can you do a hog roast in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we will respond.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
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.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. Open days in Canary Wharf generally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

- Think about shelter for your staff

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
As a London location, Canary Wharf is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- All the equipment comes with us

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
