What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In December, Upper Edmonton is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Upper Edmonton questions
Can you do a hog roast in Pymmes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Upper Edmonton?
Silver Street station, in Upper Edmonton itself.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you do charity events?
We are happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
