Common questions in Barnes
Could you cook in Barn Elms?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Barnes?
Barnes Bridge station, in Barnes itself.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late-December sunset in Barnes comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Barnes
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Parking near the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
Barnes is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
