Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Abbey Wood
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Abbey Wood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Common questions in Abbey Wood
What if our house in Abbey Wood 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.
We are gathering after a service at Saint Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Abbey Wood, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
