Catford: your questions answered
Could you cook in Forster Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Catford?
The closest is Catford Bridge station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Who books Christmas hog roast in Catford?
Rolls suit a mingling party.
However big or small the event in Catford, a slow roast goes a long way. We’re often asked to cater:
- Family Christmas gatherings
- Winter fairs and markets
- End-of-term celebrations
- Between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers
If a church like Church of St Laurence and Community Centre is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening.
Questions to ask before you book
- A clear list of what’s included
- How dietary needs are handled
- VAT, if it applies
- The full menu and the sides
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Indoor space for eating
Catford 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.
