Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an autumn event in Romford, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your visitors

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

Questions from Romford
Can you come to a school fair in Romford?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do a hog roast in Lodge Farm Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We will work it out together.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
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.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
