For event organisers in Palmers Green
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode

Common questions in Palmers Green

Palmers Green has its own station: Palmers Green station.
Do you trade at school fairs around Palmers Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you come to our fête?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A firm way on and off the field
As a London location, Palmers Green 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- 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.
How to prepare
