Book a hog roast in Tooting Bec
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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 our Christmas hog roast works in Tooting Bec
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Tooting Bec suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Whether it’s end-of-term celebrations and family Christmas gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
For Christmas parties in Tooting Bec, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast turkey can be added.
