The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. For an autumn event in Old Town, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then 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
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
As a London location, Old Town 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
