“Then in the hall kitchen, two clerks of the kitchen, a clerk comptroller, a surveyor of the dresser, a clerk of the spicery; all which together kept also a continual mess in the hall; also, in his hall kitchen, he had of master cooks two; and of other cooks, labourers, and children of the kitchen, twelve persons : four yeomen of the silver scullery, two yeomen of the pantry, with two other pastelers under the yeomen.”

“He is also described as Roger the Cook⟳, pasteler, and in 1281 (9th Edward I.), was arrested with others " for divers trespasses, homicides, robberies and assaults and for night walkers after curfew in the City, with swords and bucklers.”

“But Roger (for which Hogge is a nickname) was not a 'pasteler' or pie-man: since he ran a cook⟳ shop⟳, he would have⟳ belonged to a separate⟳ guild, and may have⟳ been one of those cooks of Bread Street referred to in the regulation, although cook⟳ shops also clustered in other locations — notably Eastcheap and Thames Street.”
