Blackwall: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Blackwall?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Bow Creek Ecology Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Often, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we’ll answer straight away.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We do not offer halal meat.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In late September, sunset in Blackwall is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
