What the cooking area needs

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:

  • Event approval for hot-food traders
  • A safe distance from other traders
  • A level pitch

Ladywell 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.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works

We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In December, Ladywell is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

  1. Tell us about the event.
  2. We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
  3. The roast starts before the gates open.
  4. We carve to order through the day.
  5. We pack down and take our waste.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Send final numbers in good time
  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

For planners, venues and organisers

Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Catered or do it yourself?

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

  • Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
  • Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
