- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Space inside for guests

Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Sewardstone, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Autumn and winter afternoons in Sewardstone get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Planning help
Sewardstone: your questions answered
Could you cook in Lee Valley Park?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Sewardstone?
Enfield Lock station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue and we will reply promptly.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
