Slow-roasted pork in Stanmore
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. For an autumn event in Stanmore, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

For event organisers in Stanmore
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Chicken widens the choice.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

- A safe distance from other traders
- Details of what the event requires
- A level pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Stanmore
How far is Stanmore from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
