Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St. Patrick's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. For colleagues travelling by train, Woodmansterne station, about 1.3 miles south, is the nearest station.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Indoor space for eating
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
Little Woodcote 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 before booking.
Popular choices

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat.

- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Little Woodcote: your questions answered
Could you cook in Carshalton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Little Woodcote?
Woodmansterne station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
