About our Christmas hog roast in Hadley Wood
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and we are frequently booked for society Christmas socials and work Christmas parties.
Around Hadley Wood, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. Plan access early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why choose a hog roast in Hadley Wood?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- A clear quote with everything listed
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose

What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Indoor space for eating
As a London location, Hadley Wood 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.

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

Hadley Wood: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Tudor Sports Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hadley Wood?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Hadley Wood in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
