Oakthorpe Park: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Oakthorpe Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Oakthorpe Park?
Oakthorpe Park has its own station: Palmers Green station.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cover Greater London and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What is hog roast hire?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Around midsummer it stays light in Oakthorpe Park until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- No surprises: everything in writing

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
