Old Coulsdon: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Old Coulsdon?
Coulsdon South station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Old Coulsdon?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
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’ll check.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with ordering in, we are already there when lunch is called. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Old Coulsdon is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
