A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
As a London location, Staples Corner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-May events in Staples Corner have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- Time on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
