Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A spot well away from the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
As a London location, Covent Garden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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’ll advise before you book.

About our party hog roast in Covent Garden
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. For leaving and retirement do’s and getting-engaged parties, we can cook crackling, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
Most parties in Covent Garden are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A picture helps. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

Common questions in Covent Garden
Can you cater after a service at Crown Court Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
