We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Late September evenings in Wallend lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

Common questions in Wallend
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Wallend?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What’s the nearest station to Wallend?
The closest is Barking station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What comes with the hog roast?

Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Wallend hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved to order by a chef

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
For event organisers in Wallend
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What affects the price in Wallend
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
