Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- One contact on the day
As a London location, North Sheen is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What we serve, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Check with family about dietary needs
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Add chicken as an alternative.
