Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which typically keeps the cost down. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book our hog roast in Gidea Park
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Planning an evening hog roast in Gidea Park? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

What else we do in Gidea Park
How we price a hog roast
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Common questions in Gidea Park
Can you cater after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Gidea Park?
Gidea Park station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
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.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
