How our party hog roast works in Hadley Wood
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and jacket potatoes, and typical bookings are for getting-engaged parties and christenings.
In Hadley Wood, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A photo helps. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
