Party hog roast in Shoreditch, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. We serve crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes, and typical bookings are for big birthday parties and getting-engaged parties.
In Shoreditch, 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. Send us a picture. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.

Shoreditch questions
Can you do a hog roast in Artillery Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at St Leonard's Church?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A spot well away from the house
- A word with the neighbours
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Shoreditch is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, it’s light in Shoreditch until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
