Hog roast for events in Childs Hill, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Childs Hill. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. For fundraising events and festivals, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and hog roast rolls for your visitors.
In Childs Hill, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces generally need council permission, and we need a pitch we can reach. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with cold food stalls, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Childs Hill questions
Could you cook in Childs Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Childs Hill has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you cover Childs Hill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
As a London location, Childs Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Childs Hill
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Balance the food line-up
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Signpost the stall clearly
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer events in Childs Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
