Christmas catering near Kennington
Kennington is about 2 miles south-west of London, in Greater London. We cover Kennington and its neighbours for Christmas parties. We cover 764 places in Greater London.
A winter fair at a school like St Stephen's Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Christmas fairs at a church such as Calvary Church of God in Christ can book a hog roast stall.
Here we cover the SW8, SW1P and SE11 postcode area. Local streets include Kay Road, Lett Road and Rita Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

Kennington: your questions answered
Could you cook in Vauxhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Kennington?
Vauxhall station, in Kennington itself.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Kennington are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short route for our equipment
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
Kennington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
