- Any travel or access charges
- How dietary needs are handled

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
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.
FAQs for Cranford
Could you cook in Hounslow Heath?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Cranford?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Our staff serve and clear
Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
As a London location, Cranford 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
