How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-May events in Peaks Hill have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Peaks Hill
Which station is closest to Peaks Hill?
Purley station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Peaks Hill?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Why choose hog roast for events in Peaks Hill?

- Village fêtes
School fairs, for a school like Coloma Convent Girls' School, are a natural fit for a hog roast.
What your quote should include
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms

- VAT, if it applies
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
