Sunbury-on-Thames questions
Could you cook in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Roughly 15 miles from the centre of London.

Get in touch and we will see what’s possible.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For an autumn event in Sunbury-on-Thames, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
