Party hog roast near Horn Park

Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and jacket potatoes, and typical bookings are for reunions and retirement parties.

In Horn Park, 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 picture. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Step by step

Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. A summer party in Horn Park stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check the space and send a clear quote.
  3. We arrive in good time and start roasting.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
  5. Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.

How to prepare

  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Horn Park parties: what to know

Horn Park is about 1 mile west of Eltham, in Greater London. We cover parties in Horn Park. We cater all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Horn Park to London (about 6 miles away).

A green space like Manor House Gardens is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. If guests are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Lee station, roughly 0.5 miles west of the centre.

We bring hog roasts to parties all over the SE12, SE9 and SE3 postcode area. Streets in the area include Winn Road, Horsa Road and Guibal Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater parties in Middle Park (1 mile east), Lee (1 mile north-west), Mottingham (1 mile south-east), Chinbrook (1 mile south) and Grove Park (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include London (6 miles north-west), City of Westminster (9 miles north-west), Marylebone (9 miles north-west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles north-west).

Space, access and the venue

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

  • Neighbours warned about the smell
  • A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
  • A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains

Horn Park 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.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:

  • Let us know roughly how many children
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option

Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.

Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

What you get with us

  • Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
  • We bring everything to cook and serve
  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • A choice of salads and potatoes

Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.

Horn Park questions

What’s the nearest station to Horn Park?

Lee station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.

Can you do a hog roast in Manor House Gardens?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally 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. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.

Can we just hire the roaster?

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Can we cook it ourselves?

If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.

Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?

Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.

Is mains power needed?

The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

What if things run late?

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

What we serve, dish by dish

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.

  • Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
