Questions from Farringdon
Is Farringdon too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Farringdon from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Farringdon is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 4:00pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
