How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a summer wake in Silvertown, there is light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.

Silvertown questions
We are gathering after a service at St Barnabas' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Thames Barrier Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve on plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Generally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we’ll tell you quickly.
For event organisers in Silvertown
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A hall or room for eating
- A short route for the equipment
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Silvertown 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
