What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode

Sydenham: venues, access and local tips
Sydenham is about 3 miles south-east of East Dulwich, in Greater London. A hog roast suits events around Sydenham, whatever the venue. We cover 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
After a service at Church of St Bartholomew, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. A green space like Mayow Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
We bring hog roasts to events all over the SE26, SE20 and SE23 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Byne Road, Lucas Road and Cator Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nearby, we also cater events in Penge (1 mile south), Crystal Palace (1 mile south-west), Sydenham Hill (1 mile north-west), Perry Vale (1 mile north-east) and Anerley (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (5 miles north), City of Westminster (7 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (8 miles north-west), St Pancras (7 miles north) and Shoreditch (7 miles north).

- Other local spots include Nunhead (2.9 miles north)
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. 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.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Sydenham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
