How our party hog roast works in Charlton
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. We are often asked to cater leaving and retirement do’s and big family get-togethers, serving a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Parties around Charlton are often relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Charlton
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote

What else we do in Charlton
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Questions from Charlton
We are gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Charlton from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Why choose party hog roast in Charlton?
Hardly any clearing up, since we provide plates and tidy up.
However big or small the event in Charlton, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are often asked to cater:
- Naming ceremonies
- Family reunions
- Milestone birthdays
- Retirement parties
If you had Betjeman Millennium Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
Questions to ask before booking
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- If the price includes VAT
- How dietary needs are handled
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. At midsummer, it’s light in Charlton until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; 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.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your party: send us your details through our quote form.
