What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A heads-up for next door
Dalston 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Dalston
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our house in Dalston has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
