What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space for people to queue
- A firm way on and off the field
- A level pitch with firm ground
Tooting is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, events in Tooting stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Questions from Tooting
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Tooting?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you trade at school fairs around Tooting?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cater in Tooting?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Tooting and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
