Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Knightsbridge, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
- A photo of the cooking area
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.

Knightsbridge: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Deutsche Evangelische Christuskirche?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Knightsbridge?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
