About our hog roast hire in Woodford Wells
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings and receptions and Fêtes, fairs and shows.

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
As a London location, Woodford Wells is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
