Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. 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, and the quote reflects that.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Summer events in Lisson Grove have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Lisson Grove
What if our house in Lisson Grove has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Lisson Grove?
London Marylebone station, in Lisson Grove itself.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we 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.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A queuing area
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
Lisson Grove 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
