Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends, which is fine with us. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list

FAQs for Parsons Green
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Parsons Green?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Parsons Green (park)?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater at home?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, given an outdoor cooking area.
Can you wait?
Give us a contact for the day and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you do something else?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We do not offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from the hall
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

Parsons Green 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.
