Greenford questions
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Cross (old Church): can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Northala Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We’ll always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In winter, it is dark in Greenford by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
