Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Add chicken as an alternative.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Space inside for guests
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, St Pancras 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
