Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
Afterwards we pack up quietly.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn and winter afternoons in Lower Morden get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

FAQs for Lower Morden
We are gathering after a service at St Martin's: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Cannon Hill Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Why choose a hog roast in Lower Morden?
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
