Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area

Gidea Park questions
Can you do a hog roast in Raphael Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Michael and All Angels 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll sort the details with them.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, 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.
Can you cater in Gidea Park?
Yes, Gidea Park is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A way in for the roaster
- Permission for outside catering
- Light near the carving station after dark
As a London location, Gidea Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Gidea Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Preparing for the day
