Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Chessington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Chessington lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day

Common questions in Chessington
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Chessington?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Horton Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
