Tooting Bec: your questions answered
Could you cook in Wandle Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in Tooting Bec has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you have alternatives?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do. Tell us the date and location.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Your date and serving time

Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
