How our party hog roast works in Hackney
For a christening or naming day in Hackney, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement parties and naming ceremonies, with apple sauce, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Most parties in Hackney 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. Send us a picture. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What else we do in Hackney
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hackney
Can you do a hog roast in Clapton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Hackney?
Hackney has its own station: Homerton station.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Where the roaster can go in Hackney
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A spot well away from the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
As a London location, Hackney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
What affects the price in Hackney
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Hackney
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For an evening party in Hackney, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
