The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In late May, sunset in Cheam is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

How our hog roast for events works in Cheam
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For festivals and summer fêtes, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls and more.
London street parties and fairs in Cheam need careful planning around road closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Cheam: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Cheam?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to Cheam?
Cheam station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Balance the food line-up
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Chicken widens the choice.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or SM2 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

- A safe distance from other traders
