FAQs for Gidea Park
What’s the nearest station to Gidea Park?
The closest is Gidea Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could you cook in Raphael Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you cover Gidea Park?
Yes, Gidea Park is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. 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.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. After-work summer events in Gidea Park have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

For event organisers in Gidea Park
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover

- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
