Questions from Limehouse
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Limehouse?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Bartlett Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What does the production need from you?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Why choose a hog roast in Limehouse?
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
Read our prices page and the cost guide.

Where the roaster can go in Limehouse
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A named contact at base
- A covered eating area
- Away from vehicles and equipment
As a London location, Limehouse 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 will advise.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
A second meat widens the menu.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Limehouse ends around 3:55pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
