Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset in Deptford is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- 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.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
As a London location, Deptford 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.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
