We cover events in every part of SE8, SE10 and SE14. Streets in the area include Mill Lane, Dixon Road and Clare Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
