Hog roast for events in Hoxton, carved to order
At a fête, fair or festival in Hoxton, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. We are frequently asked to cater food and music festivals and school fairs and sports days, serving crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
In Hoxton, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Halal isn’t offered
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Hoxton are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors

Hoxton questions
Can you do a hog roast in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hoxton?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do charity events?
Contact us.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
For event organisers in Hoxton
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Where the roaster can go in Hoxton
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A firm way on and off the field
- A level pitch
- Any paperwork the organisers need
Hoxton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
