Planning an event in Merton?
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- Clearance from walls and tents
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
As a London location, Merton 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.

Questions from Merton
Can you do a hog roast in Wandle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

The closest is Haydons Road station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can generally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
