DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
FAQs for East Dulwich
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in East Dulwich?
Frequently, 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.
Can you cater after a service at The Latter Rain Outpouring Revival Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. For an evening party in East Dulwich, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
