About our hog roast for events in Ruxley
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. For small festivals and community events, we can cook halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
In Ruxley, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we need a pitch we can reach. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Your trader requirements
- A level pitch with firm ground
Ruxley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the roaster
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw

What affects the price in Ruxley
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Ruxley
- Site access
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
