Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Details of what the event requires
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
West Dulwich 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices

Other occasions in West Dulwich
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.

West Dulwich questions
Can you do a hog roast in Long Meadow?
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 West Dulwich has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cater in West Dulwich?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is it pay as you go?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll talk it through.

No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
