Planning an event in Rise Park?
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-May events in Rise Park have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- 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 leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
As a London location, Rise Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Rise Park
Could you cook in Raphael Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Rise Park?
Gidea Park station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What will our event need from you?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
