Hog roast for events in Sydenham, slow-roasted on site
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. Whether it is car shows and rallies and small festivals, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your visitors.
At a field event near Sydenham, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements

FAQs for Sydenham
Is Sydenham close to London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Get in touch.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan visitors can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
