Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Elm Park
What if our house in Elm Park has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Elm Park?
Emerson Park station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cover Elm Park?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Do you do fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
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. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Elm Park are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- 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 rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
How to get a price
