Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A friend or relative we can call
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
As a London location, Brent 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Brent Park
What’s the nearest station to Brent Park?
The closest is Stonebridge Park station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We’ll always try. Send the date and venue and we will reply promptly.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.

Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
