Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September sunset in Catford is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Site access
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SE6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers

Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Questions from Catford
Which station is closest to Catford?
The closest is Catford Bridge station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if our house in Catford has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What allergens are in the food?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Someone to meet us
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
As a London location, Catford 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
