Hog roast hire in Addiscombe, slow-roasted on site
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Whether it is big birthdays and anniversaries and christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
London gardens around Addiscombe are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Planning a hog roast in Addiscombe
Addiscombe is about 2 miles north-east of Croydon, in Greater London. Hosts in Addiscombe book us for events of all sizes. Addiscombe is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Addiscombe to London (about 8 miles away).
A green space like Ashburton Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Among the historic houses close to Addiscombe are Addington Palace (2 miles south-east) and Kingswood House (3.5 miles north). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one.
Events anywhere in CR0, SE25 and CR9 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Whether your event is on Grant Road, Capri Road and Coe Avenue or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Being close to the A232, Addiscombe is simple for us to get to. Nearby, we also cater events in Shirley Oaks (1 mile east), Ashburton (1 mile north), Woodside (1 mile north), Shirley (1 mile east) and Monks Orchard (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in London (8 miles north), City of Westminster (10 miles north), Marylebone (10 miles north), Kensington (10 miles north-west), St Pancras (10 miles north) and Shoreditch (10 miles north).

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Crockery choices
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset in Addiscombe is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo

Addiscombe questions
We are gathering after a service at St Mildred's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
