Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
As a London location, Hadley 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.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Hadley Wood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for

Common questions in Hadley Wood
What if our house in Hadley Wood has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Tudor Sports Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cater across Greater London. Contact us for a price.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
For event organisers in Hadley Wood
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
