Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.

After a service at Church of St Paul, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Thinking of a hog roast in Church Field Gardens? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it.

Step by step
When we arrive, 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. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Ruislip Gardens, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Ruislip Gardens questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if our house in Ruislip Gardens has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Is crackling included?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
