Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
For event organisers in Maida Vale
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We work to the location’s rules.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer shoots near Maida Vale have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Sign-off from the location
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Flat ground at the unit base
Maida Vale is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
