Hog roast hire for Limehouse
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Limehouse, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.

Before we arrive

Planning a hog roast in Limehouse
Limehouse is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. We take a hog roast to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Limehouse and the surrounding area. We cater 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Within reach of Limehouse are historic houses such as Sutton House (2.4 miles north) and Mansion House (2.5 miles west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Stepney Greencoat Church of England Primary School, can book a hog roast stall.
We bring hog roasts to events all over the E14, E3 and E1 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event in a garden on Oak Lane, Bale Road and Wharf Lane, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Limehouse is on the A126, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. Close by, we cover events in Bow Common (1 mile east), Mile End (1 mile north), Ratcliff (1 mile south-west), Stepney (1 mile west) and Shadwell (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in London (3 miles south-west), City of Westminster (5 miles west), Marylebone (5 miles west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Walthamstow (5 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Holy Trinity (0.9 miles north-west) and Museum of the Book (less than half a mile south-west). The countryside around Limehouse includes St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.
- Nearby schools include St Paul's Way Trust School (less than half a mile north-east) and Stepney Green Mathematics and Computing College (0.5 miles west)
- Local pubs include Star Of The East Public House (less than half a mile south-east)
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Common questions in Limehouse
Which station is closest to Limehouse?
Limehouse station, in Limehouse itself.
What if our house in Limehouse has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
Greater London is part of our area, including Limehouse. Get in touch for a price.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. 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.
Why Limehouse hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Served at the time you choose
Take a look at our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
