Party hog roast in Addiscombe, slow-roasted on site
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. For neighbourhood parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce for your guests.
Planning a London party in Addiscombe? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

What affects the price in Addiscombe
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an evening party in Addiscombe, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Questions from Addiscombe
We’re gathering after a service at St Mildred's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Ashburton Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. 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.
