What affects the price in New Cross
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SE8 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What we serve, dish by dish
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, straight from the grill to the bun.
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Common questions in New Cross
What if our house in New Cross has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Fordham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What sort of catering do you do?
Hog roast and BBQ catering is what we do, with sides and vegetarian and vegan options. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest the food.
Does the venue need a kitchen?
No. All the cooking happens outside, under cover, which is why we can cater almost anywhere.
Do you only do hog roasts?
Not at all: there is a full barbecue menu as well.
Do you cater weddings and work events?
Weddings, birthdays and garden parties, staff days, Christmas parties, fêtes and school events, wakes, care homes and film sets.
Do you cover New Cross?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
How soon do dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends and Christmas. Weekday dates are usually easier to get. Fill in our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
All the cooking kit comes with us, so there is nothing for you to find or hire for the cooking.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How it works
We work back from when you want to eat: a hog roast needs us there hours ahead, a barbecue a little less. Either way, food is ready when you are. For an evening event in New Cross, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- It starts with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
