Party hog roast in Chinatown
About our party hog roast in Chinatown
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. Whether it’s ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and christenings and naming days, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and hog roast rolls and more.
Throwing a party in Chinatown? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Hosting a hog roast party in Chinatown
Chinatown is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. A hog roast suits parties around Chinatown, whatever the venue. We cater all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
A christening at St Anne's Church followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. No room at home? A club or hall near Chinatown with outdoor space often works.
We cater parties across the W1F, W1D and W1T postcode area. Local streets include Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bruton Lane; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Being close to the A4 and A301, Chinatown is simple for us to get to for your party. If your venue is just outside Chinatown, we also cover Soho (1 mile north), St James's (1 mile south), West End (1 mile north-east), Seven Dials (1 mile north-east) and St Giles (1 mile north-east).

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to doing it all yourself, you get to enjoy the party. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Parking close to the house
- A step-free way into the garden
Chinatown 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. For an evening party in Chinatown, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
