How our party hog roast works in Erith
After a christening near Erith, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater reunions and big birthday parties.
Planning a London party in Erith? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Erith until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
