Woodford Wells questions
What if our house in Woodford Wells has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where we can.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Sign-off from the location
- A named contact at base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
As a London location, Woodford Wells is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
