Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Lewisham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What affects the price in Lewisham
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Lewisham. In Lewisham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Your questions about a hog roast in Lewisham
What if our house in Lewisham has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Ladywell Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Working with your venue
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.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.
Why choose hog roast hire in Lewisham?

- Summer garden parties
- Work summer parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Stephen's Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast.
