How our hog roast for events works in Limehouse
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. We are often asked to cater town and village days and horse and dog shows, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.
In Limehouse, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Limehouse events: pitches and permissions
Limehouse is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. We cater events at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Limehouse and the surrounding area. Limehouse is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Running a fête for a church like St Paul's Bow Common? A hog roast draws people in. If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Stepney Greencoat Church of England Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.
For events in E14, E3 and E1, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. That could mean an event in a garden on Oak Lane, Bale Road and Wharf Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Limehouse is on the A126, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Bow Common (1 mile east), Mile End (1 mile north), Ratcliff (1 mile south-west), Stepney (1 mile west) and Shadwell (1 mile south-west).

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Summer events in Limehouse have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
