Party hog roast in Upper Walthamstow
Party hog roast in Upper Walthamstow, slow-roasted on site
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you can enjoy your own party. We serve apple sauce, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are frequently booked for back-garden get-togethers and anniversary parties.
Throwing a party in Upper Walthamstow? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How we price a hog roast for your party
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For an evening party in Upper Walthamstow, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
