FAQs for Wanstead
Could you cook in Valentines Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Wanstead?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you come to Wanstead?
Yes, Wanstead is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
As a London location, Wanstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Planning an evening hog roast in Wanstead? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

- Timed around your day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
