Greengate: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Greengate?
West Ham station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around Greengate?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A firm way on and off the field
Greengate 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.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
