Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from locations
- A contact in production
- A level spot at base for the roaster
Woodford Bridge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat

More for events in Woodford Bridge
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Questions from Woodford Bridge
What if our house in Woodford Bridge has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Linder's Field?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll plan the journey.

- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
