A hog roast near Southwark
Christmas hog roast in Southwark, slow-roasted on site
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Southwark. We are frequently asked to cater festive family get-togethers and winter fairs and markets, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and roast turkey.
For Christmas parties in Southwark, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Southwark questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Southwark?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Little Dorrit's Playground?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Send us the details.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What affects the price in Southwark
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Vehicle access close by
Southwark is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day

Southwark in December: what to know
Southwark is about 0 miles north-west of London, in Greater London. We bring a hog roast for your Christmas party to Christmas parties anywhere in Southwark, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Southwark is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater.
A winter fair at a school like Charles Dickens Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Borough Welsh Congregational Chapel draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
Wherever your Christmas party is in SE1 and SE11, we can bring the roaster to you. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on Borough Square, Trinity Church Square and Merrick Square or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. You’ll find Southwark on the A300 and B240, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Tower Hill (1 mile north-east), City of London (1 mile north), Aldgate (1 mile north-east), Bishopsgate (1 mile north-east) and Barbican Estate (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in City of Westminster (3 miles west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west) and Brompton (3 miles west).
