Your questions about a hog roast day in Cannon Hill
What if our house in Cannon Hill has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Cannon Hill?
South Merton station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A named contact on the day
Cannon Hill 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs

For event organisers in Cannon Hill
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
