DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
For event organisers in Eel Pie Island
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. For a staff lunch in Eel Pie Island, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.

Common questions in Eel Pie Island
What’s the nearest station to Eel Pie Island?

Could you cook in Marble Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.

Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
