Roundshaw: venues, access and local tips
Roundshaw is about 2 miles south-west of Croydon, in Greater London. We cover events in Roundshaw. Roundshaw is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
A green space like Waddon Ponds is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Within reach of Roundshaw are historic houses such as Addington Palace (3.9 miles east) and Nonsuch Mansion (4.2 miles west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one.
For events in SM6, CR8 and CR0, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. We can cater an event on streets such as Link Lane, Milton Road and Redwing Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. For events just outside Roundshaw, we cover Russell Hill (1 mile east), Bandonhill (1 mile north), Peaks Hill (1 mile south), Waddon (1 mile north-east) and Wallington (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include London (10 miles north), City of Westminster (11 miles north), Marylebone (11 miles north), Kensington (11 miles north), St Pancras (12 miles north) and Shoreditch (12 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include St George's Walk (2 miles north-east) and Purley War Memorial Hospital (1.2 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Roundshaw Downs and Duppas Hill.
- Local schools include Wilson's School (under half a mile north-east) and The John Fisher School (0.6 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include The Whispering Moon pub (0.9 miles north-west)
- Other local spots include County Borough of Croydon (1.9 miles north-east)
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Occasions we serve in Roundshaw
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:
- Work summer parties
- Parties at home
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
- Christmas fairs
Churches such as St. Paul's rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does.
Before you book anyone
- If the price includes VAT
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- The space, cover and access they need
- Allergen information for every dish
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
As a London location, Roundshaw is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
