Questions from Burnt Oak
Can you do a hog roast in Watling Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Burnt Oak?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
Send us the date, the address or HA8 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.

- A vehicle route onto the pitch
Burnt Oak is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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.

How it 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. Late-September events in Burnt Oak lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
If your event has a theme, tell us.

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
