How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an autumn event in Manor Park, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- 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 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.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Manor Park
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A firm way on and off the field
As a London location, Manor Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
