Why choose a hog roast in Wood Green?
A hog roast can sit alongside cakes and tea, which is fine with us. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Autumn and winter afternoons in Wood Green get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
