Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Charing Cross
What if our house in Charing Cross has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Charing Cross?
Charing Cross has its own station: London Charing Cross station.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if the service runs late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Can you cater at home?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
Charing Cross 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Check with family about dietary needs
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
