“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.”
