Questions from Copse Hill
What’s the nearest station to Copse Hill?
The closest is Raynes Park station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What if our house in Copse Hill has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you cover Copse Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Copse Hill and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses

Next to staff cooking, we take the cooking off your team. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The process

For a summer hog roast day in Copse Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count families and staff too
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
