Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in South Bank
Can you do a hog roast in Jubilee Gardens?
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 South Bank?
London Waterloo station, in South Bank itself.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
