Your questions about caterers in Elephant and Castle
What if our house in Elephant and Castle has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Newington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Are you a full-service caterer?
We cook hog roasts and barbecues at events, with sides and vegetarian and vegan options. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll suggest a menu.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you cater weddings and work events?
Most kinds: weddings, parties, work events, community events and more. Let us know the occasion.
Can you cater a small event?
Share your numbers and we will suggest the right menu.
Event catering near Elephant and Castle
We cater weddings, parties, staff days and community events across Elephant and Castle. We adapt the menu to the event, but the approach is the same: cooked on site, served hot, cleared away afterwards. Typical bookings include gatherings after a service and film and TV crews, serving spit-roast lamb, pulled pork and rotisserie chicken.
In Elephant and Castle, we cater in gardens, yards, playgrounds and office courtyards. London gardens are frequently compact, so we look for a spot clear of fences and windows. Everything we serve is cooked at your venue, whether it’s a hog roast, a barbecue or both.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
A hog roast starts hours before serving; a barbecue is cooked through service. We plan our timings from when you want to eat.
Add sides for a proper meal.
