How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A lunchtime Christmas party in Abbey Wood is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Working with your venue

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Questions from Abbey Wood
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Abbey Wood?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Abbey Wood?
Abbey Wood station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What about Christmas markets?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
