Working with your venue

Common questions in Covent Garden
What if our house in Covent Garden has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.

How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Covent Garden
- The date and time of year
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Covent Garden, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
