Emerson Park: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Haynes Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Emerson Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater in Emerson Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Emerson Park and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, Emerson Park is 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 and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
