Common questions in Woodford Wells
Could you cook in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
A hog roast or other catering?

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Step-free access for our equipment
Woodford Wells is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

For planners, venues and organisers

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Woodford Wells, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
