A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
What affects the price in Haggerston
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Should I cook it myself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
