The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast starts early, and in December Charlton is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Questions from Charlton
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Charlton?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Charlton Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do. Send us the details.
Do you cover Charlton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Charlton and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Where the roaster can go in Charlton
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Sign-off from the location
- Access agreed with locations
- Shelter for crew
Charlton 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’ll tell you honestly.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
