Which station is closest to Donnybrook Quarter?
Hackney Wick station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Parking close to the house
As a London location, Donnybrook Quarter 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.
