South Lambeth questions
Can you do a hog roast in Vauxhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to South Lambeth?
Vauxhall station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
