Charlton questions
Can you do a hog roast in Charlton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Charlton?
Charlton has its own station: Charlton station.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cater at home?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
Wake catering near Charlton
Charlton is about 2 miles west of Plumstead, in Greater London. A hog roast suits wakes around Charlton, whatever the venue. Charlton is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 6 miles away.
If the funeral is at a church such as St Catherine Labouré, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
For wakes in SE7 and SE18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wake in a garden on Floyd Road, Guild Road and Priolo Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Charlton, we also cover New Charlton (1 mile north-west), Westcombe Park (1 mile west), Woolwich (1 mile east), Vanbrugh Park Estate (1 mile south-west) and Kidbrooke (2 miles south).

Details that help

- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in 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. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- One contact on the day
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Charlton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
