Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How we price a hog roast day
The price comes down to:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu choices
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Turnpike Lane hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us

Your questions about a hog roast day in Turnpike Lane
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Turnpike Lane?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Ducketts Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve at lunch?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will be ready.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.

We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Where the roaster can go in Turnpike Lane
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Sign-off from management
As a London location, Turnpike Lane 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.
