For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What affects the price in White City
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- Time on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
Every wake is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: send us your details through our quote form.
FAQs for White City
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in White City?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at St Michael and St George?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What if people arrive late?
Give us a contact for the day and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

What else we do in White City
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from the hall
- A hall or room for eating
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
White City is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Older guests may prefer food on plates

Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
