Common questions in London Fields
Can you do a hog roast in Haggerston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.

What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can we just hire the roaster?

Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you cover London Fields?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
