What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A level pitch
Cannon Hill 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. At midsummer, events in Cannon Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access

What else we do in Cannon Hill
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
