What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
What happens on the day

Planning a shoot in Haggerston
Haggerston is about 1 mile east of Hoxton, in Greater London. We cater shoots across Haggerston and nearby, from gardens to fields. Haggerston is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Historic houses near Haggerston include Sutton House (1.5 miles north-east) and Mansion House (1.6 miles south). If you are shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. For crew arriving by train, Hoxton station is in Haggerston itself.
For shoots in N1, E2 and E8, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Your shoot could be at a house on Hyde Road, Glebe Road and Ufton Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. You’ll find Haggerston on the A1208, which makes the journey straightforward.

Haggerston questions
Which station is closest to Haggerston?
Hoxton station, in Haggerston itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Haggerston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Why choose a hog roast in Haggerston?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
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. Use our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The location manager’s agreement
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A safe distance from kit
Haggerston is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 before booking.
