Hog roast for events in North Woolwich, carved to order

In North Woolwich, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

North Woolwich questions
What if our house in North Woolwich has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Beckton District Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Is it pay as you go?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, events in North Woolwich stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about shelter for your visitors

For event organisers in North Woolwich
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
