Caterers in Bermondsey
Bermondsey: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Bermondsey Spa Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Bermondsey?
The closest is London Bridge station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you supply china?
We bring plates; china is extra and on request.
Which occasions do you cover?
All sorts: weddings, parties, work events, community events and more. Let us know the occasion.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
When should we book?
As soon as your date is fixed. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you cater a big event in Bermondsey?
Yes. A hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and for big events many hosts add a barbecue. Give us rough numbers and the serving time and we will suggest a plan.
Do you only do hog roasts?
No. We also do BBQ catering, with burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, and many events have both.
About our event catering in Bermondsey
Some caterers need a kitchen; we bring our own cooking to you. That means almost any outdoor space in Bermondsey can work. Whether it’s weddings and evening receptions and film and TV crews, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls with crackling, pulled pork and halloumi skewers.
Events in Bermondsey range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. London gardens are frequently compact, so we look for a spot clear of fences and windows. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

What catering costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Access wide enough for our equipment
As a London location, Bermondsey is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
The serving area is kept tidy and stocked, so it looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a big event, have both menus.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
