Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Can you do a hog roast in Mayesbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Thames View Estate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Open days in Thames View Estate normally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

Preparing for the day
