Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Little Ilford
Can you do a hog roast in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Little Ilford?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can visitors buy their own food?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll discuss the options.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
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.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. In December, Little Ilford is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:

- Permission for cooking on the site
- A safe distance from other traders
