FAQs for Camberwell
What’s the nearest station to Camberwell?
Denmark Hill station, in Camberwell itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Brunswick Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
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.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
A hog roast compared with other options
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wake in Camberwell, there is light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- A hall or room for eating
Camberwell is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
