About our hog roast for events in Stockbury
At a fête, fair or festival in Stockbury, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Whether it is fundraising events and summer fêtes, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
A fête near Stockbury might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Stockbury
How far is Stockbury from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Is Stockbury too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do charity events?
We’re happy to talk it through.
Can you cater in Stockbury?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Stockbury and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Stockbury stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch 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
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A safe distance from other traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Balance the food line-up
Name an organiser to meet us.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
