About our party hog roast in Woolwich
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. For garden parties and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Planning a London party in Woolwich? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

What else we do in Woolwich
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A heads-up for next door
As a London location, Woolwich 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 photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset in Woolwich is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
For event organisers in Woolwich
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Common questions in Woolwich
What’s the nearest station to Woolwich?
Woolwich has its own station: Woolwich Dockyard station.
What if our house in Woolwich has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
