How our hog roast for events works in Tyburn
Country shows near Tyburn suit a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. For school events and charity fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your visitors.
In Tyburn, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces usually need council permission, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Halal isn’t offered
- Balance the food line-up
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A level pitch
- A safe distance from other traders
- A firm way on and off the field
As a London location, Tyburn is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, events in Tyburn 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.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
