Slow-roasted pork in Dulwich
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book our hog roast in Dulwich
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- All the equipment comes with us

Hog roast hire in Dulwich, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Dulwich: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are coleslaw, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for clubhouse events and staff days and open days.
In a London neighbourhood like Dulwich, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a photo helps us check. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Dulwich until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
