Book a hog roast in Woodford
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Woodford are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Wedding hog roast in Woodford, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is farm weddings and marquee weddings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and carved roast pork.
In Woodford, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Woodford
What’s the nearest station to Woodford?
Highams Park station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
Could you cook in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Will guests be full?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.

Whatever the occasion in Woodford, a slow roast goes a long way. Bookings frequently include:

- Who carves and who serves

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Lighting for evening service
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Permission for outside catering
Woodford 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
