A hog roast near Vanbrugh Park Estate
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Vanbrugh Park Estate, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Why choose a hog roast in Vanbrugh Park Estate?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Vanbrugh Park Estate: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Vanbrugh Park Estate?
The closest is Maze Hill station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What meats can we have?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.

- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat

- Cover for your guests in bad weather

What comes off the roaster
