Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, events in Heron Quays stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Heron Quays: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Heron Quays has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest options.
Can you do a school fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A queuing area
- Event approval for hot-food traders
As a London location, Heron Quays 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.
