Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Your questions about a hog roast in Parsons Green
Could you cook in Parsons Green (park)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Parsons Green?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day
- No surprises: everything in writing
