Homerton questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Homerton?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Homerton?
Homerton station, in Homerton itself.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in Homerton. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Homerton, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Homerton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
