How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-December sunset in Holloway Down comes at about 3:50pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Holloway Down
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Holloway Down?
Maryland station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
