Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Shelter for the team
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
As a London location, Shacklewell 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.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Shacklewell?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Stoke Newington Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will plan around them.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
