How our party hog roast works in Woodside Park
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. We are frequently asked to cater retirement celebrations and milestone birthdays, serving jacket potatoes, apple sauce and coleslaw.
Throwing a party in Woodside Park? A hog roast means no cooking for you, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For an evening party in Woodside Park, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:

- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Woodside Park 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.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
