A hog roast near Waltham Forest
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Christmas hog roast in Waltham Forest, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. On the menu are apple sauce, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for december open days and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In Waltham Forest, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

For planners, venues and organisers

Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
FAQs for Waltham Forest
What if our house in Waltham Forest has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Linder's Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Clearance from walls and tents
Waltham Forest 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.
