Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in Woodford Wells is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Woodford Wells
Could you cook in The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Woodford Wells?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
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 we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Where the roaster can go in Woodford Wells
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
As a London location, Woodford Wells 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’ll advise.
