Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Chingford Hatch are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Why choose hog roast for events in Chingford Hatch?
