Planning an event in St Luke's?
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A contact on site
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
As a London location, St Luke's is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

St Luke's: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Artillery Ground?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to St Luke's?
St Luke's has its own station: Old Street station.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

The process
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. For a staff lunch in St Luke's, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
