Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Woodcote Green hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, sunset in Woodcote Green is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Common questions in Woodcote Green
What’s the nearest station to Woodcote Green?
The closest is Reedham (London) station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at St. Patrick's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
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 our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you come to Woodcote Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Woodcote Green and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need extra food?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Permission for outside catering
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
Woodcote Green 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or CR8 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
