Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and work summer parties.
In Walworth, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

- The space, cover and access they need
- Any travel or access charges

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
FAQs for Walworth
What if our house in Walworth has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cater after a service at Lady Margaret 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What affects the price in Walworth
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Walworth
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Walworth 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb

- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Coleslaw

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
