Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, Newington Green is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- 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 carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or N16 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

How we price a hog roast for your event
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
Newington Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Newington Green
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Newington Green?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Highbury Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.

Before you book anyone
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- What the price includes, item by item
- How dietary needs are handled
- How many staff will carve and serve
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Chicken widens the choice.
