How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Little London. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Little London are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

How our hog roast for events works in Little London
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include festivals and car shows and rallies, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Rural events near Little London can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Common questions in Little London
Could you cook in Colekitchen Down?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Little London too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

- The date and time of year
