Party hog roast in Heron Quays, slow-roasted on site
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. On the menu are coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary parties and milestone birthdays.
In Heron Quays, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. Send us a photo. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Heron Quays parties: what to know
Heron Quays is about 2 miles north-west of Greenwich, in Greater London. Our roaster is a regular sight at parties around Heron Quays, from gardens to fields. Heron Quays is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater.
A green space like Sir John McDougall Gardens is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Local halls and clubs near Heron Quays are an option if there’s no room at home.
Wherever your party is in E14, SE16 and E22, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a party in a garden on Tiller Road, Castor Lane and Cassilis Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Heron Quays is on the A1261, which makes the journey straightforward.

Can you cater after a service at St Peter's Church?

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
Heron Quays is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
