Hog roast for events for Luton
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Hog roast for events near Luton
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for small festivals and church and village fêtes.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Luton are made for a hog roast. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Luton
Luton is about 1 mile north of Chatham, in Medway. Luton and the surrounding area are covered for events. Luton is one of 68 towns and villages in Medway we cover. Our bookings stretch from Luton to Canterbury (24 miles away).
If visitors are coming by train, the closest railway station is Chatham station, roughly 1 mile north-west of the centre. School fairs, for a school like Luton Infant & Nursery School, are a natural fit for a hog roast.
Anywhere in ME4, ME5 and ME7, we can bring the roaster to you. Streets in the area include Mill Lane, Luton Road and Maida Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September events in Luton lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Luton
What’s the nearest station to Luton?
The closest is Chatham station, roughly 1 mile away.
How far is Luton from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Add coleslaw.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
