What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Vehicle access close by
Anerley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Why choose a hog roast in Anerley?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

FAQs for Anerley
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Anerley?
Often, 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.
What’s the nearest station to Anerley?
Anerley has its own station: Anerley station.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved at the serving station.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
