- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A step-free way into the garden
Woodford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Planners, venues and businesses

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, it’s light in Woodford until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
How to get a price

Woodford: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Barnabas' 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. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Woodford?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you cover Woodford?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
