Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Count who does not eat pork
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

West Barnes: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to West Barnes?
Motspur Park station, in West Barnes itself.
Could you cook in Beverley Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Indoor space for eating
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
As a London location, West Barnes is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
