About our hog roast for events in West Peckham
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for PTA summer fairs and food and music festivals.

West Peckham: your questions answered
Is West Peckham close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like West Peckham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Do you need power on site?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you come to West Peckham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, West Peckham and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, West Peckham is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Getting a price
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
