A hog roast near Woodside Park
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Wedding hog roast in Woodside Park, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. Typical bookings include evening receptions and the main wedding meal, serving halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Couples in Woodside Park frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and normally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
Common questions in Woodside Park
What’s the nearest station to Woodside Park?
Oakleigh Park station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Saint Barnabas' Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Do you do evening food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Power for lights in the evening
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
As a London location, Woodside 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
