DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Catford is about 5 miles east of Streatham, in Greater London. We are happy to travel to Catford for events and the places nearby. Catford is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer events in Catford have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically 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 access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

FAQs for Catford

Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
