Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access to base
- Shelter for crew
- A level area at base
As a London location, Blendon 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 will advise.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
