FAQs for Colliers Wood
What if our house in Colliers Wood has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is all of Greater London covered?
Greater London is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.

Around Colliers Wood, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a picture helps us check. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Colliers Wood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Who books hog roast hire in Colliers Wood?
People remember a hog roast. The smell, the carving and the crackling make it more than just food.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast in Colliers Wood. Here are some of the most popular:

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
As a London location, Colliers Wood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
