Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Your trader requirements
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
Sanderstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

How we price a hog roast for your event
The biggest factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, Sanderstead is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- 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
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
