About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Details of what the event requires
Avery Hill 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Avery Hill questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Avery Hill?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest options.
Can you do a school fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late-September events in Avery Hill lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
