Hog roast for events in Plumstead, carved to order
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Whether it is summer fêtes and food and music festivals, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage for your visitors.
In Plumstead, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we need a pitch we can reach. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What affects the price in Plumstead
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September events in Plumstead lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- A queuing area
As a London location, Plumstead 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Plumstead
What’s the nearest station to Plumstead?
Plumstead station, in Plumstead itself.
Do you trade at school fairs around Plumstead?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What if things run late?
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.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
