Slow-roasted pork in Windmill Hill
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Windmill Hill: your questions answered
How far is Windmill Hill from London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you need a car park?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a staff lunch in Windmill Hill, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
