If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Summer events in Mapesbury have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Mapesbury questions
Can you do a hog roast in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you come to a school fair in Mapesbury?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is it pay as you go?
Both models are possible. We will work it out together.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
