- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site

- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Where the roaster can go in Rosehill
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
As a London location, Rosehill 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Add chicken as an alternative.

FAQs for Rosehill
What if our house in Rosehill has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Morden Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Do you come to Rosehill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer evenings in Rosehill stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
