Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
As a London location, Belsize Park 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.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, Belsize Park is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your visitors

South Hampstead station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.

Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What happens in bad weather?
