What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
Hackney Central is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Hackney Central is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Questions from Hackney Central
Can you do a hog roast in Haggerston Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Hackney Central?
London Fields station, in Hackney Central itself.
Can you cater in Hackney Central?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hackney Central and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
