Slow-roasted pork in Osidge
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For an autumn event in Osidge, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your visitors

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Osidge questions
Which station is closest to Osidge?
Oakleigh Park station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Could you cook in Oak Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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 you come to our fête?
We love fêtes. Get in touch.
Is it pay as you go?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- Distance from us
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
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.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Details of what the event requires
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Space for people to queue
Osidge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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’ll advise before booking.
