Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Charlton
Could you cook in Charlton Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Charlton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
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.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do you cover Charlton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Charlton and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Show allergens at the stall
We carve to order through the agreed hours.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
