On the menu are roast turkey, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we are frequently booked for festive family get-togethers and christmas markets.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
Woodside 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.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Woodside in late December is about 3:55pm, 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.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
Woodside questions
What if our house in Woodside has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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 we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
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.
Why choose a hog roast in Woodside?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
