About our hog roast for events in Connaught Village
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Connaught Village. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. Typical bookings include club events and vintage rallies, with hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
London street parties and fairs in Connaught Village need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Questions from Connaught Village
Could you cook in Hyde Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Connaught Village?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us what the event asks of traders

Give us a contact on the day.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
