Hog roast for events in Clapham Junction, slow-roasted on site
At a fête, fair or festival in Clapham Junction, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and crackling, and we’re often booked for fun runs and sports events and vintage rallies.
In Clapham Junction, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch we can reach. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How we price a hog roast for your event
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- 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.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space for people to queue
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
Clapham Junction 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, Clapham Junction is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
