Royal Docks questions
Which station is closest to Royal Docks?
Custom House station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Ascension?
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 happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.

What else we do in Royal Docks
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
