What else we do in Addiscombe
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from emergency routes
As a London location, Addiscombe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the roaster

Addiscombe: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Addiscombe?
Norwood Junction station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can families and staff join in?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What time do you serve?
Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How we price a hog roast day
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September sunset in Addiscombe is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
