Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often 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.
Christmas hog roast in Chingford Hatch, slow-roasted on site
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We are frequently asked to cater winter fairs and markets and festive open evenings, serving roast turkey, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
For Christmas parties in Chingford Hatch, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
