Party hog roast in Wanstead, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. For reunions and close and cul-de-sac parties, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In Wanstead, 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. Send us a photo. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A step-free way into the garden
- Parking close to the house
As a London location, Wanstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Wanstead
We are gathering after a service at Wanstead United Reformed Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Valentines Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
