What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast.

- What crockery is supplied
- What the price includes, item by item
- Staffing on the day
- Whether travel is included
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Questions from HA8
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cater across Greater London, including HA8. Contact us for a price.
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.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
