Covent Garden questions
Can you do a hog roast in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Covent Garden has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For big events, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What affects the price in Covent Garden
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
