A hog roast near Honor Oak

Honor Oak: your questions answered

Could you cook in Peckham Rye?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Honor Oak?

Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?

Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.

How much room do you need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.

What happens in bad weather?

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

What do people get?

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

How our party hog roast works in Honor Oak

If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. Whether it’s milestone birthdays and anniversary parties, we can cook crackling, coleslaw and apple sauce and more.

In Honor Oak, 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. A picture helps. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Catered or do it yourself?

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

The process

Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in Honor Oak is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.

  1. Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the space and send a price.
  3. We set up hours ahead.
  4. We carve and serve at food time.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

How to prepare

  • Gather dietary requirements early
  • Send final numbers in good time
  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

A closer look at the menu

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

Roast pork

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.

What the cooking area needs

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

  • A wet-weather plan for guests
  • Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
  • Neighbours warned about the smell

Honor Oak is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

From the roaster

  • Coleslaw
  • Jacket potatoes
  • Rotisserie chicken

Looking after everyone

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option

Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

  • Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
