Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access agreed with locations
- Sign-off from the location
- A covered eating area
As a London location, Emerson Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Emerson Park: your questions answered
Could you cook in Haynes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Emerson Park?
The closest is Emerson Park station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you go to remote locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That is exactly how we work.
