Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A hall or room for eating
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
Connaught Village is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Connaught Village questions
Could you cook in Hyde Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you come to Connaught Village?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Connaught Village and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
China crockery is available on request.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Most wakes in Connaught Village are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.
