What to look for in a quote

- Staffing on the day
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Rotherhithe
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Rotherhithe?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Russia Dock Woodland?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it’s dark?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label alternatives clearly
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast turkey can be added.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Christmas parties in Rotherhithe are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
