How the day works

We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-December sunset in Shooter's Hill comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

  1. It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
  2. We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
  3. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
  5. We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.

Getting ready for the day

  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Give us final numbers a week or so before
  • Measure the narrowest gate or passage

How to compare hog roast caterers

Diets, allergies and alternatives

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.

Ask about gluten-free rolls.

What the cooking area needs

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

  • Hardstanding if possible in winter
  • Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
  • Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area

As a London location, Shooter's Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:

  • Distance from us
  • Plates or china
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How many people are eating

The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Details that help

When you enquire, it helps to include:

  • Dietary requirements
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Where the event is
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Why book our hog roast in Shooter's Hill

  • Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.

What comes off the roaster

Rotisserie chicken

For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Shooter's Hill: your questions answered

What’s the nearest station to Shooter's Hill?

Falconwood station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.

Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Shooter's Hill?

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do we need to provide electricity?

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

Do you need lighting?

After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

Can you work around our timings?

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.

How long does the roast need?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

  • Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover

  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
