Shepherd's Bush questions
We’re gathering after a service at Shepherd's Bush Tabernacle: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Shepherd's Bush?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you cover Shepherd's Bush?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Shepherd's Bush and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, it’s light in Shepherd's Bush until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
