South Bank questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in South Bank?
Often, if there’s 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 do a hog roast in Jubilee Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you go to remote locations?
Generally, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we’ll respond.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SE1 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your shoot in South Bank. In December, daylight in South Bank ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: send us your details through our quote form.
