We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and christmas parties, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and salads.

- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Local landmarks in Shoreditch

Planning a hog roast in E1
E1 covers everything from Shoreditch, Whitechapel and Bishopsgate to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Shoreditch: A green space like Artillery Ground is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Among the historic houses close to Shoreditch are Mansion House (1 mile south-west) and Dr Johnson's House (1.5 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Late September evenings in Shoreditch lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
