Hog roast catering in WC1X: local guide
Across WC1X, we cover 2 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Holborn and Clerkenwell to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Holborn: PTAs at schools such as St Alban's Church of England Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. After a service at St Alban's Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Evenings in Holborn stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
