Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Details of what the event requires
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
As a London location, Tooting Bec is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, Tooting Bec is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
