Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SE16 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Indoor space for eating
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
Surrey Canal 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.

FAQs for Surrey Canal
Can you do a hog roast in Deptford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Surrey Canal?
Surrey Canal has its own station: South Bermondsey station.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater in Surrey Canal?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Surrey Canal and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Surrey Canal, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
