How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Bakers Arms are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space for people to queue
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
As a London location, Bakers Arms 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
