Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
Leytonstone 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.

Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Golden-hour photos in Leytonstone at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
FAQs for Leytonstone

Can you do a hog roast in Leyton Jubilee Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
