For event organisers in Oakleigh Park
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.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
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.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Vehicle access close by
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
Oakleigh Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Oakleigh Park questions
Can you do a hog roast in Swan Lane Open Space?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Oakleigh Park has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
