- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.

Questions from Gidea Park
What’s the nearest station to Gidea Park?
The closest is Gidea Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Raphael Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is turkey available?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens if it is dark?
It gets dark early, so we’ll sort lighting together.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
