A hog roast near Woodford Bridge
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Woodford Bridge
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include staff Christmas do’s and club and society Christmas parties, with rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and roast turkey.
In Woodford Bridge, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Woodford Bridge
What’s the nearest station to Woodford Bridge?
Highams Park station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
What if our house in Woodford Bridge 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.
What happens if it is dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater in Woodford Bridge?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can generally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

- Count who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.

How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, it’s dark in Woodford Bridge by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
