Coney Hall questions
What if our house in Coney Hall has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Millers Pond?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Coney Hall
For a work Christmas party in Coney Hall, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. We serve crackling, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and we’re often booked for christmas fairs and staff Christmas do’s.
Around Coney Hall, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

For event organisers in Coney Hall
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
Coney Hall 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.

Coney Hall in December: what to know
Coney Hall is about 3 miles south of Beckenham, in Greater London. We are happy to travel to Coney Hall for Christmas parties. Coney Hall is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 9 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Forest Academy gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Francis of Assisi draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
Anywhere in BR4, CR0 and BR3, we can bring the roaster to you. From Ash Road, Kent Road and Briar Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the roaster to you.

Further out, we also cater in London (9 miles north), City of Westminster (11 miles north-west), Marylebone (11 miles north-west), Kensington (12 miles north-west), St Pancras (11 miles north) and Shoreditch (11 miles north).

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Coney Hall are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Your menu choices
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. 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.
