About our party hog roast in Waltham Forest
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. We’re frequently asked to cater naming ceremonies and milestone birthdays, serving crackling, coleslaw and jacket potatoes.
Throwing a party in Waltham Forest? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, it is light in Waltham Forest until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Waltham Forest: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist 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. Send us the address.
What if our house in Waltham Forest has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Where the roaster can go in Waltham Forest
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A spot well away from the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
Waltham Forest is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
