Your questions about a hog roast in Highams Park
We’re gathering after a service at St John's: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Highams Park?
The closest is Highams Park station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.

What comes off the roaster

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
