About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
As a London location, Stepney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Working with your venue

Occasions we serve in Stepney
We bring everything, so organisers have little to provide.
Whatever the occasion in Stepney, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings frequently include:
- Charity days
- Fun runs and sports events
- School events
- Community days and street fairs
PTAs at schools such as Redlands Primary School often want one reliable hot-food stall.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, if it applies
- What crockery is supplied
- The space, cover and access they need
- What the price includes, item by item
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
