How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. We are often asked to cater school events and community days and street fairs, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage.
Events in Battersea range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we need a pitch we can reach. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Battersea are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your visitors
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
