Questions from Belvedere
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Belvedere?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late-December sunset in Belvedere is about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.

For event organisers in Belvedere
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
