What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Questions from Rayners Lane
Do you trade at school fairs around Rayners Lane?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What if our house in Rayners Lane has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What will our event need from you?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
As a London location, Rayners Lane is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, events in Rayners Lane stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
