Looking after everyone
Some crew will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

- Halal isn’t offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
Give us one contact in production.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The location manager’s agreement
- Vehicle access to base
- A level area at base
Broadwater Farm 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Broadwater Farm
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Broadwater Farm?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Bruce Castle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. Send us the details.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will be ready.
What does the production need from you?
Requirements vary by production.
Do you cover Broadwater Farm?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Broadwater Farm and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How it works
Expect a calm, 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. On a winter shoot near Broadwater Farm, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
