FAQs for Hamstead Marshall
Can you do a hog roast in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Hamstead Marshall close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you cover Hamstead Marshall?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Planning help
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
