Party hog roast for Woodside
Party hog roast in Woodside, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you can enjoy your own party. For getting-engaged parties and family reunions, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In Woodside, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A picture helps. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

What affects the price in Woodside
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Woodside
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A spot well away from the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
Woodside 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Jacket potatoes
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Woodside, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Questions from Woodside
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Woodside?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Luke?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
