Hog roast for events for Dancers Hill
Common questions in Dancers Hill
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Dancers Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you come to a school fair in Dancers Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

What else we do in Dancers Hill
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue
- A safe distance from other traders
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
As a London location, Dancers Hill 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 will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September events in Dancers Hill lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
