The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Eltham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually 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 arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Party venues around Eltham
Eltham is about 7 miles west of Dartford, in Greater London. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Eltham. We cater 764 places across Greater London. We cater events right across the region, from Eltham to London (about 8 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Eltham Palace (under half a mile north-west) and Danson House (2.8 miles east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. After a christening at a church like Church of Holy Trinity, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.
Parties anywhere in SE9, SE12, DA15 and BR7 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Your party could be at a house on Eltham High Street, Tarnwood Park and Elmslie Court, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. You will find Eltham on the A20 and B263, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. For parties just outside Eltham, we cover Middle Park (1 mile west), New Eltham (1 mile south-east), Well Hall (1 mile north), Coldharbour (1 mile south) and Avery Hill (1 mile north-east).

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
FAQs for Eltham
Can you do a hog roast in Horn Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
