What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Parking near the cooking area
Blendon 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.

Blendon questions
What’s the nearest station to Blendon?
Albany Park station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Blendon?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Is lighting needed?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A lunchtime Christmas party in Blendon is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access
