About our event catering in Woolwich
We are event caterers who cook on site. In Woolwich, that means a hog roast, a barbecue or both, cooked outdoors under cover at your venue, and our team serves and tidies up. Whether it is location shoots and work events and open days, we can cook beef burgers, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Woolwich, access is the first thing caterers ask about. We need an outdoor space and a route in, which rules out some flats but suits most gardens, yards and courtyards. A photo helps. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
How the day 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. In December, sunset in Woolwich is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us about the event: what it is, when and where.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We agree where we’ll cook.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Woolwich: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Woolwich?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Woolwich Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can we have something other than a hog roast?
No: there’s a full barbecue menu as well, with vegetarian and vegan options on each.
What if our venue is indoors?
The cooking is always outdoors, though guests can eat inside if the venue is happy.
What about vegetarian guests?
We do. There is always a vegetarian and a vegan choice.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
Not at all. All the cooking happens outside, under cover, which is why we can cater almost anywhere.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so you do not need to borrow anything for the cooking.
Ask for both menus for a long day, such as a wedding with evening guests.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll 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
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
