How our hog roast for events works in Canons Park
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Canons Park. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. For fun runs and sports events and charity fundraisers, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers.
London street parties and fairs in Canons Park need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Questions from Canons Park
Do you trade at school fairs around Canons Park?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you do a hog roast in Edgwarebury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What affects the price in Canons Park
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

What else we do in Canons Park
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-September events in Canons Park lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
