A hog roast or other catering?
Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
- Carved to order by a chef

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A level pitch with firm ground
As a London location, Charing Cross 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.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an autumn event in Charing Cross, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
