How our hog roast for events works in Chinbrook
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and country shows.
In Chinbrook, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces normally need council permission, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
As a London location, Chinbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What if our house in Chinbrook has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Chinbrook Meadows?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Chinbrook are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
