A hog roast near Dulwich Village
Dulwich Village: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Barnabas' Church?
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.
Can you do a hog roast in Dulwich Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
About our hog roast hire in Dulwich Village
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and summer garden parties.
In Dulwich Village, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late September evenings in Dulwich Village lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- 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.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Dulwich Village 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
