DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Your questions about a hog roast for your team in West Peckham
Do you come out to small places like West Peckham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is West Peckham close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will make it work.
How do we book for a business?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we will confirm how booking and payment work.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles

- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year

- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a staff lunch in West Peckham, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
