Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A lit route to the food
- Vehicle access close by
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
As a London location, Osidge 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Osidge questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Osidge?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Oak Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do guests have to eat outside?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
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.
