About our party hog roast in Vale of Health
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We are often asked to cater naming ceremonies and anniversary parties, with jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
Throwing a party in Vale of Health? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Common questions in Vale of Health
Can you do a hog roast in Hampstead Heath?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
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 typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
