St John's Wood: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in St John's Wood?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
Take a look at our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A route for our vehicle
- Away from vehicles and equipment
As a London location, St John's Wood 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.
