About our party hog roast in Cannon Hill
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Typical bookings include close and cul-de-sac parties and garden parties, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Most parties in Cannon Hill 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. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
Cannon Hill 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Cannon Hill: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St James Merton: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if our house in Cannon Hill has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, it is light in Cannon Hill until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
