Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.

Bringing a hog roast to Waltham Forest
Waltham Forest is about 1 mile north-east of Chingford, in Greater London. We cater events across Waltham Forest and nearby, from gardens to fields. Waltham Forest is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
A green space like Linder's Field is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. For anyone arriving by rail, Chingford station is about 0.6 miles away.
Events anywhere in E4 and IG9 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. You will find Waltham Forest on the A1069, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment.

Waltham Forest questions
What if our house in Waltham Forest has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
