The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- Permission from the hall or venue
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, Knightsbridge 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- New potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls

- Salads

- Rotisserie chicken
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
