Lewisham: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Ladywell Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around Lewisham?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you do fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Balance the food line-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Add coleslaw.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Lewisham are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
