Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Hampstead in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planners, venues and businesses

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Indoor space for eating
- A lit route to the food
- Parking near the cooking area
As a London location, Hampstead 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.
