DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Questions from South Croydon
What if our house in South Croydon has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Duppas Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book our Christmas party?
The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In South Croydon, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
