Party hog roast for Strood Green
Party hog roast in Strood Green, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. We are often asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and summer parties in the garden, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
Near Strood Green, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
For event organisers in Strood Green
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Common questions in Strood Green
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Strood Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Sunset in Strood Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
