Within reach of Canary Wharf are historic houses such as Queen's House (1.8 miles south) and Mansion House (3.1 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. After a service at St Peter's Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house.
We cater events across E14, SE16 and E22 and the streets around it. From Castor Lane, Cassilis Road and Dockyard Lane or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there.

We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Canary Wharf come in all shapes. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Light matters for a long roast: in Canary Wharf, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Perfect for your event in Canary Wharf
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
Whatever the occasion in Canary Wharf, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings often include:
- Community events
- Wakes
- Clubhouse events
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
A green space like Sir John McDougall Gardens is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.

What affects the price in Canary Wharf
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Canary Wharf
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why choose a hog roast in Canary Wharf?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Your questions about a hog roast in Canary Wharf
Could you cook in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Canary Wharf?
Canary Wharf has its own station: Canary Wharf station.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is all of Greater London covered?

What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Canary Wharf is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
