What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
As a London location, Whitechapel is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Questions from Whitechapel
What if our house in Whitechapel has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Whitechapel?
Whitechapel station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why choose a hog roast in Whitechapel?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Planned to your running order
