About hog roast for events in Greater London

Charity fundraisers in Greater London can use a hog roast to draw people in. Tell us about the event and we will suggest how it could work. Typical bookings include car shows and rallies and community days and street fairs, with rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Fairs, fêtes and festivals across Greater London

Across Greater London, fairs, fêtes and shows happen in London, City of Westminster and Marylebone and in 87 villages and hamlets. A hog roast suits all of them. Parts of Greater London are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

London: An event in Newington Gardens means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, usually the council. For visitors coming by rail, London has its own station, Elephant & Castle station. At midsummer, events in London stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Planning the cooking spot

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:

Access for our vehicle to the pitch
Space for people to queue
Details of what the event requires

DIY versus a catered hog roast

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Questions from Greater London

What’s included?

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

When should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.

Can you do gluten-free?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

Is crockery included?

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
