Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A safe distance from other traders
Downham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do a hog roast in Downham Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

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.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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 everyone in the loop.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Summer events in Downham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
