Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late May, sunset in Grove Park is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:

- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork

We clear the pitch and take everything away.

Could you cook in Chinbrook Meadows?

Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Can you cater in Grove Park?

How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Details of what the event requires
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
As a London location, Grove Park 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
