- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Knightsbridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Knightsbridge questions
We are gathering after a service at Deutsche Evangelische Christuskirche: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Knightsbridge has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
