The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer hog roast day in Bandonhill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Bandonhill
Can you do a hog roast in Beddington Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bandonhill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
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.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Someone to meet us
Bandonhill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
