Party hog roast in Blackheath
Party hog roast in Blackheath, carved to order
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for family reunions and neighbourhood parties.
Most parties in Blackheath are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A picture helps. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Where the roaster can go in Blackheath
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
Blackheath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Blackheath: your questions answered
What if our house in Blackheath has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
The process
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 Blackheath, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
