Party hog roast in Hale Street, slow-roasted on site
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Hale Street, then carve at the time you choose, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for neighbourhood parties and retirement parties.
In a small place like Hale Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, it’s light in Hale Street until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare

Hale Street: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Hale Street?
Yalding station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you come to Hale Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hale Street and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
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.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Perfect for your party in Hale Street

Hosting a hog roast party in Hale Street

Nearby historic houses include Old Soar Manor (4.4 miles north-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Guests arriving by train should know that Yalding station, about 0.9 miles north-east, is the nearest station.
For parties in TN12, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. We can cater a party on streets such as Hale Court, Hale Street and Pattenden Gardens or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater parties in Branbridges (1 mile south), East Peckham (1 mile south-west), Peckham Bush (1 mile north-west), Snoll Hatch (1 mile south-west) and Beltring (1 mile south).

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
How we price a hog roast for your party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Hale Street
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Here’s what we will ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
