How our party hog roast works in Isle of Dogs
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. Typical bookings include engagement parties and naming ceremonies, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes.
Throwing a party in Isle of Dogs? A hog roast means no cooking for you, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What affects the price in Isle of Dogs
Things that change the price:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Isle of Dogs
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Isle of Dogs
What if our house in Isle of Dogs has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
