For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Where the roaster can go in Forest Hill
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A firm way on and off the field
- Your trader requirements
As a London location, Forest 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Questions from Forest Hill
What’s the nearest station to Forest Hill?
Honor Oak Park station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Peckham Rye?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
