Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
Honor Oak is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-May events in Honor Oak have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Questions from Honor Oak
Could you cook 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.
What if our house in Honor Oak has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you do charity events?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
