Your questions about a hog roast in Crofton Park
What’s the nearest station to Crofton Park?
Crofton Park station, in Crofton Park itself.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Hilda: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Crofton Park, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Crofton Park
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
As a London location, Crofton Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
