- Permission from the venue or landowner

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.

Common questions in Tower Hamlets
Can you do a hog roast in High Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you work around our timings?
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 clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
