How our hog roast hire works in Catford
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Catford, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For wakes and garden parties and barbecues, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Catford come in all shapes. Let us know about the route in. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
Catford 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.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
FAQs for Catford
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Laurence and Community Centre?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Forster Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you travel across Greater London?
Greater London is part of our area, including Catford. Ask for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Catford, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day

- Name a contact for the day
