The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We pack up whatever the weather.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
What affects the price in South Bermondsey
The price comes down to:

- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
