How our party hog roast works in Elmers End
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Whether it is anniversary parties and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
Throwing a party in Elmers End? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Elmers End is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Questions from Elmers End
We are gathering after a service at St James's Church: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Elmers End?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:

- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Your menu choices

- A wet-weather plan for guests
