How our Christmas hog roast works in Aldersbrook
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include festive family get-togethers and christmas lights switch-ons, serving roast turkey, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
For Christmas parties in Aldersbrook, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Aldersbrook: your questions answered
Could you cook in Valentines Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Aldersbrook?
Wanstead Park station, about 0.9 miles south-west of the centre.
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.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Who books Christmas hog roast in Aldersbrook?
It’s a change from turkey and all the trimmings in a restaurant.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Aldersbrook and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Office Christmas parties
- Society Christmas socials
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
- Christmas markets
A winter fair at a school like Aldersbrook Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether travel is included
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- Whether VAT is included
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Aldersbrook, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Ask for a quote
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label alternatives clearly
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast turkey can be added.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Vehicle access close by
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
As a London location, Aldersbrook 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
