The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September shoots near Nag's Head lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from locations
- A contact in production
- Away from vehicles and equipment
Nag's Head 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Nag's Head: your questions answered
Could you cook in Whittington Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Nag's Head?
Drayton Park station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
