Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
About our hog roast for events in Oakwood
Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and car shows and rallies.
In Oakwood, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for Oakwood
Do you trade at school fairs around Oakwood?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Which station is closest to Oakwood?
Winchmore Hill station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you come to our fête?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

What else we do in Oakwood
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Oakwood are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
