Corporate hog roast in Forest Hill, slow-roasted on site
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. We’re frequently asked to cater team-building days and site open days, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In Forest Hill, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Tell us about site access and security. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- Site access
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Forest Hill: your questions answered
Could you cook in Peckham Rye?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Forest Hill?
Frequently, 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 serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will plan around them.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a staff lunch in Forest Hill, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Someone to meet us at reception
As a London location, Forest Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
