Common questions in Peckham Bush
How far is Peckham Bush from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Peckham Bush?
Yalding station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, lunch or an afternoon event.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, the light in Peckham Bush goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
