Where the roaster can go in New Eltham
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Bringing a hog roast to New Eltham
New Eltham is about 1 mile south-east of Eltham, in Greater London. New Eltham is well within our area for events and the places nearby. We cater 764 places across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from New Eltham to London (about 8 miles away).
Thinking of a hog roast in Elmstead Wood? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Wyborne Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.
We cater events across the SE9, DA15 and BR7 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event in a garden on Green Lane, Gerda Road and Novar Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Eltham (1 mile north-west), Longlands (1 mile south-east), Coldharbour (1 mile south-west), Avery Hill (1 mile north) and Blackfen (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (8 miles north-west), City of Westminster (11 miles north-west), Marylebone (11 miles north-west), Kensington (13 miles west), St Pancras (10 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (9 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Metropolitan Police Museum (1.4 miles east) and Eltham Community Hospital (1.1 miles north-west). The countryside around New Eltham includes Summer Hill and The Tarn.
- Nearby schools include St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School (0.8 miles north-west)

Other occasions in New Eltham
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station

New Eltham questions
What if our house in New Eltham has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at All Saints 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is all of Greater London covered?
All of Greater London is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
