Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Thamesmead
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We serve apple sauce, crackling and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas markets and end-of-year team celebrations.
London Christmas parties in Thamesmead are often at offices, pubs with a courtyard or homes with a garden. Tell us about lighting and access. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A short route for our equipment
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A lit route to the food
Thamesmead 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Thamesmead: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Thamesmead?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Abbey Wood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What about Christmas markets?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
