Party hog roast near Dulwich
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Dulwich suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. We’re often asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and retirement celebrations, with a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes.

How we price a hog roast for your party
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why book our hog roast in Dulwich
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Dulwich 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening parties in Dulwich need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Questions from Dulwich
Can you do a hog roast in Dulwich Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Christ's Chapel of God's Gift: 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.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Do you cover Dulwich?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Dulwich and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
