Shoreditch questions
Can you do a hog roast in Artillery Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Shoreditch?
Shoreditch has its own station: Shoreditch High Street station.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
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 the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Before you choose a spot

- Approval from locations
- A contact in production
- Shelter for crew
Shoreditch is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A hog roast compared with other options
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Take a look at our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast starts early, and in December Shoreditch is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
