About our party hog roast in Woodford Wells
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We’re often asked to cater summer parties in the garden and retirement celebrations, serving coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
Throwing a party in Woodford Wells? 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. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Woodford Wells
Can you cater after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Woodford Wells has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

Should I cook it myself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
