Christmas hog roast in Hale End
Questions from Hale End
What if our house in Hale End has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Hale End, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us

- A clear quote with everything listed
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved to order by a chef

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Light by the serving table
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
As a London location, Hale End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 will advise before booking.
