Parties in Catford: homes, halls and local tips
Catford is about 5 miles east of Streatham, in Greater London. Catford is well within our area for parties. Catford is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater.
Nearby historic houses include Eltham Palace (2.8 miles east) and Queen's House (2.8 miles north). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.

Parties anywhere in SE6 and BR1 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Streets in the area include Bargery Road, Penerley Road and Inchmery Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Party hog roast in Catford, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. We are frequently asked to cater family reunions and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, with jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Throwing a party in Catford? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Catford
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Laurence and Community Centre: 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’s the nearest station to Catford?
Catford Bridge station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A step-free way into the garden
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
As a London location, Catford 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.

- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Jacket potatoes
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn parties in Catford get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
