Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Elephant and Castle

- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby

- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
As a London location, Elephant and Castle 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.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In December, it’s dark in Elephant and Castle 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.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your guests
Getting a price
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
