Party hog roast for West Hackney
Party hog roast in West Hackney, slow-roasted on site

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in West Hackney
Could you cook in Stoke Newington Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cater in West Hackney?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A step-free way into the garden
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
As a London location, West Hackney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
- Salads

Full catering or machine hire?

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in West Hackney is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
