About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Albany Park ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Ask about china, quoted separately.

Albany Park: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Albany Park?
Sidcup station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Waring Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you go to remote locations?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll confirm.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A contact in production
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
As a London location, Albany Park 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
