How our Christmas hog roast works in South Norwood
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in South Norwood. We serve roast turkey, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for society Christmas socials and new Year parties.
Around South Norwood, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
As a London location, South Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why South Norwood hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
