Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Sign-off from management
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, Monkhams is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
