Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, events in South Wimbledon stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Make the stall easy to find
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Balance the food line-up
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
