Hog roast for events in Spitalfields, slow-roasted on site
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Whether it’s horse and dog shows and school events, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In Spitalfields, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Whether your event is on New Road, Mark Lane and Bell Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Travel to Spitalfields
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Add coleslaw.
FAQs for Spitalfields
Which station is closest to Spitalfields?
Spitalfields has its own station: London Liverpool Street station.
Can you do a hog roast in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
Is it pay as you go?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll talk it through.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do a school fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Space for people to queue
Spitalfields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At large shows, tell us expected numbers. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose
- A clear quote with everything listed
Take a look at our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late-May events in Spitalfields have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
