Hog roast for events in London Beach
Should I cook it myself?

Hog roast for events in London Beach, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. We are often asked to cater vintage rallies and PTA summer fairs, serving a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Rural events near London Beach can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, events in London Beach stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
