About our hog roast hire in South Woodford
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Whether it is parties at home and festive gatherings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and coleslaw and more.
Gardens in South Woodford tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- All the equipment comes with us
Where the roaster can go in South Woodford
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
As a London location, South Woodford 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evenings in South Woodford stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
