How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Tower Hamlets, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

A hog roast compared with other options

- A choice of salads and potatoes

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
