Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
As a London location, Anerley 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.

A hog roast compared with other options

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
What affects the price in Anerley
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Dietary requirements
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or SE20 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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 happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, it’s light in Anerley until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Anerley
What if our house in Anerley has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at St Paul's?
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.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
