Slow-roasted pork in Canons Park
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Party hog roast in Canons Park, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. We’re often asked to cater getting-engaged parties and naming ceremonies, serving crackling, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Most parties in Canons Park 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. Send us a photo. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
Canons Park 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Jacket potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
