Surrey Canal: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Deptford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Katharine with St Bartholomew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How our hog roast hire works in Surrey Canal
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Surrey Canal. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff days and open days and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Gardens in Surrey Canal tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

Planning the cooking spot

- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
