- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.

Lee questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Lee?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Who books Christmas hog roast in Lee?
Offer roast turkey as well as the hog.
These are some of the most popular hog roast bookings near Lee:
- Christmas family parties
- Christmas lights switch-ons
- Club and society Christmas parties
- December open days
A winter fair at a school like Brindishe Lee School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
Before booking anyone
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- How dietary needs are handled
- How many staff will carve and serve
- Whether VAT is included
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Lee in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price

What comes off the roaster

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

- A lit route to the food
Lee 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.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
