Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Temple Fortune is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evenings in Temple Fortune 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.

- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day

What we serve, dish by dish

Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Temple Fortune: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Temple Fortune?
The closest is Brent Cross West station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Saint Mary and Archangel Michael Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
