DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Wanstead

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Power for lights in the evening
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
Wanstead 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.

For planners, venues and organisers

How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At a December wedding in Wanstead, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
