A hog roast across EC2A: what to know
There are 6 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in EC2A, so whether your event is in Barbican Estate, Bishopsgate and Finsbury or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Barbican Estate: Among the historic houses close to Barbican Estate are Mansion House (0.5 miles south-east) and Dr Johnson's House (0.6 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. If you had Barbican Conservatory in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. Around midsummer it stays light in Barbican Estate until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Site access
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
