Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Popular choices include apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and typical bookings are for festivals and club events.
London street parties and fairs in Bayswater need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Details of what the event requires
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
As a London location, Bayswater is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Common questions in Bayswater
Can you come to a school fair in Bayswater?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What if our house in Bayswater has no side access?
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 will advise.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest options.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Bayswater are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
