Party hog roast near Shadwell
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. We serve jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for naming ceremonies and close and cul-de-sac parties.
Throwing a party in Shadwell? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Parking close to the house
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
As a London location, Shadwell 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Shadwell
What’s the nearest station to Shadwell?
Wapping station, in Shadwell itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Russia Dock Woodland?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
