Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

- How dietary needs are handled
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
As a London location, East End of London 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.

How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to East End of London
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your date and serving time

- Allergies we should know about
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Light matters for a long roast: in East End of London, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
