Slow-roasted pork in Seven Kings
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Evenings in Seven Kings stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- We start with a few details 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
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

FAQs for Seven Kings
We are gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you cook in South Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Occasions we serve in Seven Kings
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
Whatever the occasion in Seven Kings, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings frequently include:
- Christmas parties
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Where the roaster can go in Seven Kings
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
As a London location, Seven Kings is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
