Slow-roasted pork in Woodford
About our hog roast for events in Woodford
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. For charity days and community events, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and hog roast rolls and more.
Street parties and school fairs in Woodford suit a hog roast stall, once the permissions are in place. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Balance the food line-up
- Show allergens at the stall
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
We serve as the queue moves.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
What affects the price in Woodford

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, Woodford is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Woodford: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Woodford?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What if our house in Woodford has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Is it pay as you go?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you need power on site?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
