Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Space inside for guests
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
As a London location, Strawberry Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwiches, hot food feels more caring. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
