Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Charlton
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.
Could you cook in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you come to our fête?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cater in Charlton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Charlton and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest options.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September events in Charlton lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
