Party hog roast for Aldgate
Where the roaster can go in Aldgate
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A word with the neighbours
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
Aldgate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Party hog roast near Aldgate

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Aldgate
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Aldgate?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. By late September, sunset in Aldgate is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What affects the price in Aldgate
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
