Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A firm way on and off the field
Notting Dale 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’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Notting Dale
Can you come to a school fair in Notting Dale?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.

Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.

Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest options.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
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.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
Give us a contact on the day.

Vegan visitors can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, events in Notting Dale stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then 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.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
