Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Coldharbour questions
Could you cook in Mudchute Park and Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Coldharbour has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you come to Coldharbour?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Coldharbour and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Contact us.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.

- The number of people

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Coldharbour are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
