What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A queuing area
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
As a London location, West Hackney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

West Hackney: your questions answered
Could you cook in Stoke Newington Common?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around West Hackney?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Get in touch and we’ll see what’s possible.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
