Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
As a London location, Eel Pie Island 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.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Is our garden big enough?
