Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Penge hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you

Common questions in Penge
Which station is closest to Penge?
Penge West station, in Penge itself.
Could you cook in Crystal Palace Dinosaurs?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What affects the price in Penge
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

What else we do in Penge
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level pitch
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Permission for cooking on the site
Penge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
