About our party hog roast in Clerkenwell
For a christening or naming day in Clerkenwell, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Popular choices include apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for family reunions and naming ceremonies.
Most parties in Clerkenwell are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a picture. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.

Clerkenwell questions
Which station is closest to Clerkenwell?
Farringdon station, in Clerkenwell itself.
We’re gathering after a service at St James's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
