How our hog roast for events works in Perry Vale
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Whether it is fun runs and sports events and community days and street fairs, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, crackling and rotisserie chicken for your visitors.
Events in Perry Vale range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces generally need council permission, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- Numbers
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Add coleslaw.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Perry Vale
What if our house in Perry Vale has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to Perry Vale?
Forest Hill station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cater in Perry Vale?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Perry Vale and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.

What else we do in Perry Vale
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Perry Vale are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
