Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
FAQs for Bloomsbury
Which station is closest to Bloomsbury?
London Euston station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you come to Bloomsbury?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Bloomsbury and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A safe distance from other traders
As a London location, Bloomsbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Bloomsbury

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Bloomsbury are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

- Send final numbers in good time
