Your questions about a hog roast day in Colliers Wood
What if our house in Colliers Wood has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Figge's Marsh?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you provide allergen information?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast can be part of a wider event, such as a singer or a garden fête. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Request thin slices
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from emergency routes
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- An activities lead or manager as contact
As a London location, Colliers Wood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
