Community events around Clapton
Clapton is about 2 miles east of Highbury, in Greater London. We cater events at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Clapton and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to 764 places across Greater London.
A summer fête at Church of St James the Great is the classic setting for a hog roast. An event in Millfields Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, normally the council.
Wherever your event is in E5, N16 and E8, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event in a garden on Muir Road, Downs Road and Tilia Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Clapton, we also cover Lea Bridge (1 mile north-east), West Hackney (1 mile west), Homerton (1 mile south-east), Lower Clapton (1 mile south-east) and Shacklewell (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (4 miles south), City of Westminster (5 miles south-west), Marylebone (5 miles south-west), Kensington (7 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles south-west) and Whitechapel (3 miles south).
Nearby you will also find Homerton University Hospital (0.8 miles south-east) and Clowns Gallery-Museum (1.2 miles south-west). Open spaces near Clapton include Dartmouth Park Hill and Hollow Pond.
- Nearby schools include Baden-Powell School (under half a mile south-west) and Newcome's School (0.5 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include The Amhurst Arms Public House (0.6 miles south-west)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Leabridge (less than half a mile east)
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, events in Clapton stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Gather dietary requirements early

What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
As a London location, Clapton 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.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
We serve as the queue moves.
Chicken widens the choice.
FAQs for Clapton
Can you come to a school fair in Clapton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do a hog roast in Millfields 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 come to our fête?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Get in touch.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
