How our party hog roast works in Aldwych
In Aldwych, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. Our staff serve and clear. We serve coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for big birthday parties and wedding anniversaries.
Most parties in Aldwych are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A photo helps. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Aldwych is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day

- When they arrive and when the food will be ready

- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
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.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

About the food

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

FAQs for Aldwych
What’s the nearest station to Aldwych?
London Charing Cross station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary le Strand?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.

- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
