FAQs for Sewardstonebury
Can you do a hog roast in Lee Valley Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Sewardstonebury has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you cater in Sewardstonebury?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Sewardstonebury and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
What do people get?

Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue
- Details of what the event requires
- A firm way on and off the field
Sewardstonebury 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.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, events in Sewardstonebury stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
