Hampstead is about 3 miles north-west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We are happy to travel to Hampstead for events. Hampstead is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Church fêtes, at churches such as St John-at-Hampstead church, are a natural home for a hog roast. Events in parks such as Kilburn Grange Park need permission from the council or landowner for cooking and vehicles.
Events anywhere in NW3, NW6, NW11 and N2 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many visitors. Local streets include Hampstead High Street, New End Square and The Mount Square; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Hampstead sits on or near the A1 and A502, which makes travel to your event easy.

Hog roast for events in Hampstead, carved to order
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and small festivals.
Events in Hampstead range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. For an autumn event in Hampstead, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare

A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

FAQs for Hampstead
Can you do a hog roast in Kilburn Grange Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you come to a school fair in Hampstead?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
