Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re 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.
Where the roaster can go in St Luke's
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
As a London location, St Luke's 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to St Luke's
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Party venues around St Luke's
St Luke's is about 2 miles north of London, in Greater London. We cover parties in St Luke's. St Luke's is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Jewin Welsh Presbyterian Chapel or St Mary-at-Hill, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. If your garden is too small, local halls and clubs near St Luke's can be an alternative, as long as there’s outdoor space for the roaster.
Here we cover the N1, EC1V and EC2A postcode area, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. Your party could be at a house on Long Lane, City Road and Moor Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In St Luke's, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Questions from St Luke's
We’re gathering after a service at Jewin Welsh Presbyterian Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to St Luke's?
Old Street station, in St Luke's itself.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
