What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In St George's Fields, 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. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- 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.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.

St George's Fields questions
What’s the nearest station to St George's Fields?
St George's Fields has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
What if our house in St George's Fields has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cover St George's Fields?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including St George's Fields and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in St George's Fields
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Our staff serve and clear
Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
