Party hog roast in Coulsdon, carved to order
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and street parties, serving crackling, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
Throwing a party in Coulsdon? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, 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 every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Coulsdon is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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 you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
As a London location, Coulsdon 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
