Brixton: your questions answered
What if our house in Brixton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Max Roach Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Tell us who does not eat pork
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
