Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Party hog roast in London Docklands, slow-roasted on site
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and close and cul-de-sac parties, serving hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and crackling.
In London Docklands, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A picture helps. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

For event organisers in London Docklands
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
London Docklands questions
Could you cook in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A heads-up for next door
- A wet-weather plan for guests
As a London location, London Docklands is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, it’s light in London Docklands until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
