Hello my name is Jack and I have just started my own hog roast business. I was wondering if there is a way I can find out what pitches are available in central London where I can have a 3m x 3m pitch selling hog roast, I don't need any electric supply. I am looking for somewhere in central London where sales can be guaranteed. Many thanks

We have space for a unit in Windsor for the Royal wedding.
We are 1 min from the castle and on route from the Station to the Castle.

Hi Jack,

Good to hear from you!

The only way to find out if any pitches are available to go looking; especially in Central London where a pitch can cost a premium rate. I would start visiting all the local markets like Ladbroke Grove, Camden Market or other various Farmers markets; this link has a list of London Based Markets

For the type of food that you are offering, you want to try and setup where your target market will be; this could be outside a pub which has a small front space or even a beer garden that you can rent. You could start searching on Ebay for people that want to sell their catering pitch, Gumtree or other local business papers/websites.

You can also contact Retail Concessions who organise all the food caterers for the likes of Homebase, Wicks and B&Q to see if they have anything available. However, I think you best chance will come from spotting a suitable location yourself and asking for permission to trade.

Parks, Stations and other similar places where you will have a larger number of footfall should also be on your list of sites to investigate. Sorry I don’t have anything else solid to offer you.
