For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Bermondsey questions
What’s the nearest station to Bermondsey?
London Bridge station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
What if our house in Bermondsey has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you do charity events?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest options.
Do you come to Bermondsey?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Bermondsey and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Summer events in Bermondsey have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls gives visitors a good choice. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
