Catering an event in Woodford
Woodford is about 9 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. Woodford is well within our area for events. Woodford is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 9 miles away.
A club or centre near Woodford with a terrace or field can be a good venue. If you are organising a fair for a school like Woodbridge High School, a hog roast or barbecue stall is popular.
We cater events across IG8, E18, IG9 and E4 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include The Square, Brackley Square and Glen Crescent, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. You’ll find Woodford on the A113 and A121, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Is our catering right for your event?
Hog roast or barbecue? The hog roast is the showpiece, the barbecue the crowd-pleaser. Many events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Woodford: your questions answered
What if our house in Woodford has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What events do you cater?
Weddings, birthdays and garden parties, staff days, Christmas parties, fêtes and school events, wakes, care homes and film sets.
What about vegetarian guests?
Yes, with halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Do you work with wedding planners and venues?
Yes: we will liaise with the venue on access and set-up.
Should we choose a hog roast or a barbecue?
It depends on your guests: a hog roast suits a crowd, a barbecue suits mixed tastes. We’re happy to advise.
What kind of caterers are you?
Hog roast and BBQ catering is what we do, with sides and vegetarian and vegan options. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest the food.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground outdoors for the cooking
- Access wide enough for our equipment
- A green light from whoever owns the site
As a London location, Woodford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Pulled pork
A pulled pork roll is a barbecue favourite, filling and easy to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about children’s numbers
With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. We plan our timings from when you want to eat.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
