Christmas hog roast in Wanstead
How our Christmas hog roast works in Wanstead
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Wanstead, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas fairs and winter open days.
In Wanstead, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or E11 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, it is dark in Wanstead by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Wanstead
What if our house in Wanstead has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Valentines Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the food be served indoors?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
