Common questions in Botany Bay
What’s the nearest station to Botany Bay?
The closest is Crews Hill station, roughly 1 mile away.
What if our house in Botany Bay has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Party hog roast in Botany Bay, slow-roasted on site

Planning a London party in Botany Bay? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Botany Bay parties: what to know
Botany Bay is in Greater London. We cater parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Botany Bay. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 12 miles away.
A green space like Trent Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. If your garden is too small, local halls and clubs near Botany Bay can be an alternative, as long as there is outdoor space for the roaster.
Anywhere in EN2, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include The Ridgeway and East Lodge Lane; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Botany Bay is on the A1005, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. If your venue is just outside Botany Bay, we also cover Cockfosters (2 miles south-west), Grange Park (2 miles south-east), Hadley Wood (2 miles south-west), World's End (2 miles south) and Oakwood (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in London (12 miles south), City of Westminster (11 miles south), Marylebone (11 miles south), Kensington (13 miles south), St Pancras (10 miles south) and Shoreditch (11 miles south).
A little further out are Museum of Enfield (2.7 miles south-east) and Chase Farm Hospital (1.2 miles south-east). The countryside around Botany Bay includes Fir and Pond Woods and Bowyer's Water.
- Nearby schools include Highlands School (2.1 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include The Robin Hood pub (less than half a mile south)
- Local facilities include Municipal Borough of Enfield (1.6 miles east)
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A word with the neighbours
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
As a London location, Botany Bay 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in Botany Bay until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why Botany Bay hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Take a look at our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
