Party hog roast in Gidea Park
Party hog roast near Gidea Park
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. For neighbourhood parties and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes for your guests.
In Gidea Park, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a picture. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Gidea Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
