Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A level pitch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Waterside are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Waterside questions
Is Waterside too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you trade at school fairs around Waterside?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
Do you come to Waterside?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Waterside and Buckinghamshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
