Why choose a hog roast in Blackfen?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Blackfen hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

- A clear list of what’s included

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
FAQs for Blackfen
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Blackfen?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Is all of Greater London covered?
All of Greater London is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
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.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
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.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
Blackfen is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Blackfen, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
