Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A wet-weather plan for guests
Greengate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 will advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Greengate: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Greengate?
The closest is West Ham station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
