About our Christmas hog roast in Goodmayes
For a work Christmas party in Goodmayes, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. We’re frequently asked to cater festive open evenings and year-end thank-yous, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey.
Around Goodmayes, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Common questions in Goodmayes
Could you cook in South Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Goodmayes?
Goodmayes station, in Goodmayes itself.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Where the roaster can go in Goodmayes
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Indoor space for eating
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Light by the serving table
Goodmayes is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
