About our hog roast for events in Church End
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For school events and horse and dog shows, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, apple sauce and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
Events in Church End range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and we need a pitch we can reach. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

Church End questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Church End?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you come to a school fair in Church End?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Church End are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Where the roaster can go in Church End
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A safe distance from other traders
- Permission for cooking on the site
Church End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
