Hog roast for events for St Luke's
St Luke's questions
Could you cook in Artillery Ground?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in St Luke's?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
