Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
Oakleigh Park 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Oakleigh Park
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Oakleigh Park?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
