West Heath questions
Which station is closest to West Heath?
The closest is Abbey Wood station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you do a hog roast in Lesnes Abbey Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
About our hog roast hire in West Heath
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. For gatherings after a funeral and christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, coleslaw and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like West Heath, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a picture helps us check. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as St Andrew's, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. For anyone arriving by rail, Abbey Wood station, about 1 mile north, is the nearest station.
Here we cover the DA7, DA16 and SE2 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, West Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 will say what we think before you book.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Evenings in West Heath stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
