A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Running an event in Whitechapel
Whitechapel is about 2 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. Thinking about a hog roast for your event in Whitechapel? We cover the whole area. Whitechapel is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater.
Church fêtes, at churches such as St Mary Matfelon, are a natural home for a hog roast. Events in parks such as Finsbury Circus need permission from the council or landowner for cooking and vehicles.
This part of Greater London takes in E1, E2 and E1W, so your event can be anywhere in it. We can cater an event on streets such as New Road, Mark Lane and Idol Lane, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Whitechapel sits on or near the A3 and A10, which makes travel to your event easy. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Spitalfields (1 mile west), Aldgate (1 mile south-west), Bishopsgate (1 mile west), East End of London (1 mile east) and St George in the East (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in City of Westminster (4 miles west), Marylebone (3 miles west), Kensington (6 miles west), Walthamstow (5 miles north), Hampstead (5 miles north-west) and Ruislip (15 miles west). Being one of Greater London’s larger places, Whitechapel has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
A little further out are Minories (0.5 miles south-west) and The Royal London Hospital (0.5 miles east). Within reach you’ll find St. James's Park Lake and Lavender Pond.
- Schools near Whitechapel include London Enterprise Academy (within half a mile south-east) and Makers Academy (less than half a mile west)

- Parks and local facilities nearby include Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives (0.5 miles west)
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For an autumn event in Whitechapel, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Your trader requirements
- A queuing area
As a London location, Whitechapel is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
