What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A route for our vehicle
- Shelter for crew
- Flat ground at the unit base
As a London location, Bowes 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, daylight in Bowes Park lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
