Hog roast catering in WC2E: local guide
Across WC2E, we cover 2 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in South Bank and Temple Bar or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
South Bank: A green space like Jubilee Gardens is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. If guests are travelling by rail, London Waterloo station serves South Bank directly. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in South Bank, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
What affects the price in WC2E
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
