For event organisers in Bloomsbury
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Hog roast hire for your event in Bloomsbury
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Typical bookings include festive gatherings and corporate events, with spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling.
London gardens around Bloomsbury are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

How we price a hog roast
Each price is built from:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Bloomsbury
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Evenings in Bloomsbury stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
As a London location, Bloomsbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
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.
FAQs for Bloomsbury
Can you cater after a service at St George the Martyr Holborn?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bloomsbury?
Often, 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.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Events we cater in Bloomsbury
