Planning an event in Woodside Park?
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. By late September, sunset near Woodside Park is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Ask for a quote

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Woodside Park questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Woodside Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Woodside Park?
The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you come to Woodside Park?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We pack away straight after service.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.

Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Read how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Sign-off from the location
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A covered eating area
As a London location, Woodside Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 will advise.
