Slow-roasted pork in Gallows Corner

How our Christmas hog roast works in Gallows Corner

Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We’re often asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and year-end thank-yous, serving roast turkey, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.

In Gallows Corner, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Why book with us

  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
  • All the equipment comes with us
  • No surprises: everything in writing
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

For planners, venues and organisers

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

FAQs for Gallows Corner

What’s the nearest station to Gallows Corner?

The closest is Gidea Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.

Can you do a hog roast in Raphael Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

How big a hog will we need?

We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

Do you bring plates?

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

Is there a non-pork option?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

How much does a hog roast cost?

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.

Who serves?

You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

Do you need power or water?

The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Share the allergen information in advance
  • Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
  • Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP

Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we will plan it with you.

Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Full catering or machine hire?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

A closer look at the menu

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

Crackling

Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

How it works

We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-December sunset in Gallows Corner comes at about 3:50pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.

  1. Book early for December.
  2. You get a quote with the menu.
  3. We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
  4. We serve pork, turkey and sides.
  5. We tidy up and leave.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Name a contact for the day
  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Getting a price

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: fill in our quote form.

What the cooking area needs

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:

  • Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
  • Light by the serving table
  • Vehicle access close by

As a London location, Gallows Corner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
