Hog roast hire for your event in Woodford
In Woodford, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and shows and sports clubs and societies.
In Woodford, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally 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 Woodford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Woodford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 will say what we think before booking.

For event organisers in Woodford
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in Woodford
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
