Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Dulwich Village
Can you do a hog roast in Dulwich Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Dulwich Village has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Get in touch.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, events in Dulwich Village stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
