How our party hog roast works in Hither Green
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll help you choose. Whether it is summer parties in the garden and retirement parties, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Planning a London party in Hither Green? 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. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Hither Green: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Swithun?
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.
Could you cook in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
