City of Westminster questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in City of Westminster?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mark's: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details for a quick answer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Planning the cooking spot

- A short route for the equipment
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Space inside for guests
As a London location, City of Westminster 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.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
