Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. For celebrations of life and scattering-of-ashes gatherings, we can cook apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken for your guests.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Clearance from walls and branches
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
As a London location, Well Hall 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.
