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.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. On a winter shoot near Woolwich, 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.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Common questions in Woolwich
Can you do a hog roast in Woolwich Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Woolwich has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A contact in production
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
Woolwich 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.
