Questions from Addiscombe
Which station is closest to Addiscombe?
Norwood Junction station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Addiscombe?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
For event organisers in Addiscombe
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Light by the serving table
As a London location, Addiscombe 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label alternatives clearly
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In December, it’s dark in Addiscombe by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
