Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
St Johns 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from St Johns
What’s the nearest station to St Johns?
St Johns station, in St Johns itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Brookmill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We will sign in and follow site rules.
