Planning an event in Isle of Dogs?
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Hog roast hire for your event in Isle of Dogs
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Isle of Dogs. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats.

In Isle of Dogs, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Let us know about the route in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Isle of Dogs questions
What’s the nearest station to Isle of Dogs?
The closest is Greenwich station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Mudchute Park and Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cover Isle of Dogs?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Isle of Dogs and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Isle of Dogs is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
