Slow-roasted pork in Woodford
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Woodford
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas markets and society Christmas socials.
London Christmas parties in Woodford are frequently at offices, pubs with a courtyard or homes with a garden. Tell us about lighting and access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

For event organisers in Woodford
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Woodford: your questions answered
Could you cook in The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Woodford?
The closest is Highams Park station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater in Woodford?

What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. By about 3:50pm in late December, Woodford is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Where the roaster can go in Woodford
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
As a London location, Woodford 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
