A hog roast near Bermondsey
Christmas hog roast in Bermondsey, carved to order
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Typical bookings include christmas family parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Around Bermondsey, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Sunset in Bermondsey in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.

Questions from Bermondsey
Can you do a hog roast in Bermondsey Spa Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Bermondsey has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
